[wellylug] ADSL modem and Linux router/firewall without double NAT

[Mark Foster]

Edoard, i'll spell it out to be clear:

If it does not have a telepermit, it is NOT permitted to be connected to 
the Telecom NZ Network.

If your local loop is provided by someone else (TCL) then you must 
similarly consult with them, for permission to use the type.

The permissive language is a concession to the fact that the restrictions 
are tied to contracts, not directly to law, except by way of the 
Telecommunications act as earlier mentioned.

The risk is yours to take, but I would strongly advise against the 
non-telepermitted path, it has a significant risk of causing dramas later 
on should you have line faults.
