I understand the confusion, but still almost all NAT based system has firewall.
The only DSL modem that I don't see firewall is Cisco 677 modem.
And nope, I didn't look wrong model, just that sometimes ISP mocked up the interface of a modem and that is common. Verizon have their own frirmware which makes the interface look different, just that they used different words just to confuse people like you. I was like yawning.

Nope. There is no disable the firewall under PPP for 5100B.
Interface dont matter! It's about hardware as itself.
The 5100 has four lights
The 5100b has five lights
You pick wrong model and deal with that! Don't be so stubborn. I already play around 5100 and 5100B and I can tell they are so different.
Let me mock you.
Your modem DOES have firewall. check this website, it outlines specifications for Cisco CISCO677, look under firewall, there is information there
