Why not just a plain old DSL/10BaseT bridge and pppoe(8)? I agree that
it'd be great to have hardware plugged comfortably inside the system and
one less piece hanging off the power strip, but canacar@ and crew have
done an incredible job on it, to the point where even my old i486/33
with a pair of ep(4) cards can handle residential (384/1.5 tested) DSL.
