here in .at the telco supplies external adsl-modems which connect to
your equipment via PPTP/ethernet. they are not exactly routers, but
rather function as a kind of bridge...while this method being *far*
from optimal there are pptp-clients for linux and they work (I´m
writing this over such a connection ;) ), AFAIR the modems can also do
PPPoE, but the telco doesn´t support this (yet).
manufacturer is Alcatel, my model (for adsl/isdn) is called a
"SpeedTouch 1000 ADSL", look at
http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/supuser.htm , maybe you can find
something there which fits your needs.
