Sorry but you are wasting your time trying to get another VDSL modem to work with U-verse. The 2Wire connect daily to a provisioning server, there is no PPoE login or other login. It is not as simple as a ADSL modem where you just need to know VPI / VCI settings and the PPoE / PPoA settings.

Just put your existing NetScreen router behind the 2Wire RG in the DMZplus. Make sure that you network segment is different then the RG or just change the RGs default from 192.168.1.0 to one of the other choices or pick a custom network. The U-verse STBs can stay on the network with the RG. This also will keep the IPTV multicasts from overloading your network.

The only restriction with the 2Wire really has to do with VPN support. Here is the 2Wire document that explains the possible issue.

Test by placing a computer in the DMZPlus mode. If the VPN does not work when the computer is in the DMZPlus mode, the VPN is either using the same IP scheme or IPSec 50 or 51, which does not work with 2Wire gateways.
