Re: ADSL



Apart from the Sangoma which is hardly low cost, there aren't any that I know of.

Most cost effective way to do this is to go for one of the many external Ethernet/DSL bridges then run PPP/PPPoE on the OpenBSD box. I've had good results with the Netgear DM602 *in "Modem" mode* for this purpose. OK, it's a two box solution but does leave your OpenBSD box with control over the PPP session and the external IP address on it's tun0 interface.

As much as it stinks, unless you are running on very old hardware or doing lots of other things on the box then the extra overhead of userland PPP/pppoe and back out to Ethernet is miniscule (<<5% CPU utilisation on a 600Mhz VIA Eden sinking data from a 2Mb/s ADSL at full tilt).
