No. At first you need to know the type of your connection (PPPoA or PPPoE). If you want the FreeBSD box hold the public IP, you'll need configure the ADSL modem as a bridge, otherwise, configure as a router. Some modems don't do bridge PPPoA. Ask to your supplier if yours does. We have worked with modems Alcatel and DLink perfectly. The 3Com seems to be a good modem, too. There are also other modems, too. But I'm talking just about the modems there I know.
