If you need subscriber management, a basic ATM router will not be what you need. Any Cisco router with the required ATM interface can do ATM routing, but a Cisco router can't do all the subscriber management magic that a Redback can. Probably a FreeBSD box with an ATM interface, and PPPoE (if that is what your ADSL provider is using) should come pretty close. However, I seem the Redback supporting a lot of different protocols, and your ADSL provider might require something different.
