You will need a DSL modem no matter what. DSL is only the carrier, like a T,
a dialup, etc, they all need a modem or DSU before connecting to a router.
If you purchase a router it may have the DSL hardware integrated similiar
(but different)to a Cisco with an internal DSU but in principle you will
still need a device to attatch to the DSL line.
Yes, we actually use the DSL modem and connect it to our 805 router. I have
asked the DSL provider for the IP and put it on my router and use nat to the
outside. They actually gave me a subnet of 6 host ip's. This also allows me
to create VPN's with other poeple in the same setup and my companies
enterprise network.

Subject: Router to DSL line compatibility
Hey folks,
Has anyone used a dual ethernet router to connect their home LAN's to a DSL
to ISP line? I was wondering if I could get by without having to buy a DSL
router of sorts. Does a 25xx or 26xx dual ethernet router even have the
ability to route DSL?
If I do need to get a DSL router, which model would you recommend based on
the premise I would like to be able to play with some NAT configs and some
VPDN kind of stuff too.
I am currently using a Alcatel DSL box and static IP from the ISP.
Thanks a lot.
