A customer of ours had some Netgear ADSL routers at their sites that did
IPsec, but the model escapes me at the moment. They worked fine for a
while, but I think about half of them died or started flaking out within
2-3 years.

Most anything that does standard IPsec should work together, I have yet
to find a router that won't connect up to pfSense in some way with IPsec.

I have heard there are also some ADSL modem/routers that AT&T is
distributing to its business customers which can do IPsec, probably
something from Efficient/Siemens or 2Wire.
