I have a Draytek Vigor 120 ADSL modem which I understand Apple recommend. Unfortunately it seems that while it is connected to the WAN interface of the AEBS, and the AEBS is configured to use PPPoE you cannot access the web or telnet servers provided by the Vigor, meaning you're in the dark about the ADSL line status and you cannot monitor or change configuration.
192.168.1.0/24(LAN)
192.168.1.1(AEBS)
192.168.2.1(ADSL modem)
A "hack" suggested by users of other routers is to loopback the WAN interface to the LAN and plug the modem into the LAN. This appears to cause interface flapping on the AEBS (as one would expect) and teardown of PPP every 10-15s so is not a solution. You can talk to the device on 192.168.2.1 as long as you alias yourself an IP on that subnet.
What I would like to see Apple implement would be an option to allow direct ethernet routing of either all non-internet-routable networks or specific networks (in my case 192.168.2.0/24) over the WAN interface.
Eg.
