My modem/router is a PK5001Z from CenturyLink. IIRC a tech support person told me that it uses ppp internally.
With regard to security, I would prefer to trust Windows or the modem/router as little as possible, hence the desire to connect the Windows box to the main box.

Similar situation at home. What I did was to buy my *own* router, plug it into Verizon's, change the subnet, and everything goes through *that*. You could, as well, set the routing to go through your main box as a gateway, and NAT there.
