You may want to try the *Thomson / Alcatel Speedtouch 605s (2-wire) 
Modem(SHDSL)/Router
which will work as a router or as bridge to your openbsd box. I 
installed one recently and
it's easy.

Your isp is probably going to help you with the configuration of your 
modem, at least he will provide line specs.
If you can set up an obsd box, you can configure this router.
