I have a Zyxel P-660H ADSL router/modem and a Draytek 2910 VPN router. I am installing it on a BT Broadband line that has a single static IP address, where I want the Zyxel to act solely as a bridge for the ADSL connection, and have the Draytek doing the dialling, taking the static IP address, providing firewall and providing the BT broadband login details etc. Is this possible? If so, I am having big trouble figuring out which configuration to use on each device. Even if I can't get the Draytek to do all this, if I could even just get an Internet connection it would be good.

On the Zyxel there are two access modes - Router or Bridge. I assume I select Bridge? After choosing Bridge, I then have to pick either PPPoA or RFC1483. PPPoA requires the broadband login details, RFC1483 requires nothing extra. I have also enabled PPPoE pass-through on the Zyxel - I believe this allows another device to supply connection info to the Zyxel? (in my case, the Draytek).

On the Draytek 2910, there are 5 access modes - None, PPPoE, PPTP, DHCP, and I can't remember the other off-hand. I thought if I tried PPPoE and entered the broadband login details through it that this would get things going, but I must be still missing something.
