Will any bebox modem work on my Be connection?

I just ordered a Be connection and have already been activated but my modem has not arrived and will not for a couple more days.

In our office we have a bebox modem spare can i just stick that on for now?

Any Adsl2+ modem would work as long as you have all your login information, IP etc..

but there is no login information on a be network. if you use a standard router you need to input the the mac address of a bebox.
I don't have it yet so is there a way round that?

No you don't.

Connection type: ETHoA or 1483 Bridged
Encapsulation: LLC
VPI: 0
VCI: 101
MTU: 1500

If you've gone for a static IP address then you should have an IP, subnet and gateway to use. If you want to use their DNS servers they're 94.192.119.253 and 94.192.119.254.

A BeBox qualifies as an ADSL2+ modem, so yes.
