You would normally also need to authenticate onto your ISP's network, a 
function previously performed by the modem.  Unless you connect a router 
behind the modem to do the PPPoE authentication you will need to do this at 
the PC.

There is a possibility that you will pick up a new IP address if your 
connection resync's.

I will be *really* surprised if you see a difference in speed in any way 
attributable to the change you want to implement at the modem.
