In dutch a proverb says "Better late, than never"!
I needed to connect a Speedtouch 780WL as a wireless AP and ATA to a cable modem. Searching the internet I wasn't able to find the solution.
However, on the Speedtouch residential CD v5.4.0 (part of the delivery of the generic ST780 purchase) I found a template to configure the ST780 as an ATA (file name <<SW_EXP_voiceata_7xx.tpl>>). This worked fine for me. The name of this file suggests that it works also for the ST716.
For the ST706 there seems to be a separate file, called <<SW_EXP_voiceata_706.tpl>>.
I used the same CD to get the template in the ST780. I do not know what dialplan is used in the template.
You can NOT download the Speedtouch Residential CD v5.4.0 (or later) from an Alcatel/Thomson/Speedtouch-site! Later on I found a version 6.1.03 for download, but I do not remember the site.
In the UK you can order the CD from <<www.speedtouchonline.com>>; they charge only for shippingcosts.
I hope this still helps. Greetings from Amsterdam.

PS
To connect the ST780 to the ethernet/UTP-network (in my case the cable modem) you should use port 4.
To get a internet connection my ISP prescribes to turn/power down everything and than power up in this order: !. PC; 2. ST780; 3. cable modem.
