You must have your telco's DSLAM people tell you exactly what brand and model of DSL modem they support. Do NOT be creative here. Full and free interoperability between any ol' CO DSLAM and any ol' CPE DSL modem is still a ways off. I also suggest you get an external DSL-to-ethernet modem (similar to an external cable modem). This eliminates your "FreeBSD DSL" pb completely. and keeps the telco wires out of your FeeBSD machine.
