RE: how to reach modem om WAN port

You could create a secondary address on WAN interface like (assumes the
interface is xl1 and give it a description EXT):
		<opt1>
			<if>xl1</if>
			<ipaddr>192.168.254.1</ipaddr>
			<subnet>24</subnet>
			<bridge/>
			<enable/>
			<descr>EXT</descr>
		</opt1>

Inside <interfaces> section of the configuration file.  Of course you need
to export it, add it and import back.

You may need to do outgoing NAT (I'm not sure whether auto-outgoing NAT will
do).

You can enable sysctl commands in the config file that will use ifconfig to
multi-home.  You may also have to set up some routing.  Or, you can stick in
another nic, and plug it back into the WAN segment.
