I had one of those too.  They were sold at Sears and was called the Portaline.  
It had 2 rods the could be adjusted on either side of the base and a piece that 
went behind the chuck of the drill that followed the 2 rods.  I haven't seen 
one in years though.

  In addition to what the others said, you can buy a jig that fits on your 
drill. It makes it look like a router, except that it slides up and down, 
whereas a router has very little depth adjustment. I bought one years ago, and 
I can't even remember where I got it, but it wasn't very expensive. I think it 
was like a True Value Hardware or something. 

  It will enable you to, for instance cut a perfect hole to receive a door 
latch assembly.
