The reason I want to get to the web interface is I've had some problems 
with it re-sycing to slower speeds. I'm trying to document the issue 
with the ISP and Verizon.

It is supposed to be 3000/768. Currently it syncs at 3360/604 and 
sometimes the downstream will drop to ~900 for the downstream and stay 
there. The only way I can know for sure is to look at the statistics 
page on its web interface.

Since this line is used 24/7, serves around 20 people and downstream is 
what I use most, it's a problem. Taking it down frequently to change 
the WAN IP in order to be able to see the DSL modem stats is not a good 
option.
