I am guessing that you have a lease line entering your modem first and then from the modem to the router.
Now the problem lies with the cables that will be used. The modem uses different ports, such as V.35 or EIA530 You cannot directly put it into the NIC interface. Yu will need a special card which will convert from V.35/ EIA530 to RJ45 and only then can u replace your linux box as a router. This is a special card and only it can convert incoming data from V.35/ EIA530 to RJ45 check out google. The company that makes this card is called RAD. Not very sure about that name.
