If you look on amazon.co.uk you will see just how many big-name manufacturers of routers have a version in their range that has a built-in ADSL modem. Although, personally, I prefer to use a separate modem (usually a D-Link DSL320B) in bridge mode. I can then use BLFS, or OpenWrt, on the router itself, built by us, or commercially available. Just out of interest I've been playing with one of these recently https://www.gl-inet.com/ar150/ and they are really impressive, as, indeed, is this company's whole range. So, all I really wanted to say was that it's always useful to see how others are handling ppoe. Richard
