Most SDSL and ADSL connections will be quite standard. From your DSL
router or bridge, it should act as a standard ethernet connection. You
will need to delve further (on -questions) if you DSL provider uses
PPPoE or IDSL.

You should also talk to your provider about FreeBSD. A lot of them will
say they know nothing about it, but you never know... If you haven't
settled on a provider yet, see if you can try out their service first
with FreeBSD before committing to a one or two year contract.
