How is that possible?  Are you using public IP addresses to manage your
wireless radios?  If so, that might be silly.

If you use RFC1918 space and use a subnet to manage your radios, then do:

access-list 10 permit 10.x.x.x 0.0.0.255
access-list 10 deny any log
interface fax/x
  ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
  pppoe enable
  ip access-group 10 in


I didn't even know it was possible to have PPPoE enabled on a numbered
interface.  (perhaps, but we don't)

Why are you not doing that anyway?  Do people on the Internet need
access to your radios?
