Hi !
Coming from an 11-site IPCop installation, one thing we use quite
often in the IPCop crowd is USB ADSL modems plugged in directly to
IPCop. SAGEM Fast800 or Thomson/Alcatel/Whoever SpeedTouch.
In an ADSL/PPPoA environment when you need to do IPSEC tunnels, it's a
setting that works when half-bridging isn't possible.
But from what I understood (please correct me) those "modems" aren't
supported in pfSense.
Cheers

Access to machines with the device - I can't stress enough how
difficult it is to develop code for something you have no access to,
the turn around time for code, test, bugfix is just too long to make
it worthwhile.
I know there's at least one PCI ADSL modem the Smoothwall/IPCop
crowd have been working with for some time - I think it's sold
under the brand "Bewan" but I'd have to check - it's some time
since I looked into it.
The other option might be one of the Sangoma cards - generally
they're very open with their hardware.
A problem I seem to recall is I don't think anyone makes ADSL2/2+
PCI cards. While the old ADSL cards may get you by for now,
depending on the situation they may leave you stuck in a matter of
months to a couple years maybe.
