Thank you very much for your answer and I am sorry for the late. I don't like very much router-on-pci-card and I would like to buy a pure adsl modem like traverse solos.
But is "Traverse Solos" supported under obsd ? Also solos seems EOL because I have not found it anymore on the site. About separate adsl router I think they are pretty unsafe and very easy download the firmware from the vendor site, hack it and flash the device. And all the home adsl router u can find are linux based with all security problems that linux has. For these reasons I want make my own obsd router but what other choice I have to connect it to an adsl ?? it's very strange to have so many problems to make a router under openbsd when it should born for it.
