Given John's reply about the enlightened state of Magnet's (non 
Eircom-wholesale) network, something like:


         ----[magnet box]-----[PC]
                                |
                            --------- your network
                             | | | |

may work.

The PC can act as firewall and DHCP relay between magnet and your 
network.

Another alternative is just do bridging on the PC, using Linux and 
'ebtables'.

regards,
