Can anyone on the list reccommend an ADSL modem with better than normal

I know the default answer would be to bridge an ADSL modem to an ipcop or 
pfsense box, but the circumstances where the modem will be deployed this is 
not a viable suggestion.

What I want is a modem that has has both ethernet and wireless, plus a fully 
featured firewall application so that I can set up rules to my hearts 
content. Support for an attached usb hard drive would be a bonus.

Does anyone on the list have any experience in flashing store brought ADSL 
modems with Linux images such as openWRT?

assuming you already have a modem .. why not just buy a Linksys WRT54GL 
(open source version) .. which happily take dd-wrt etc
