Although I've never seen it myself, my ISP (Covad), claims that such does 
exist. My SDSL router died a while back, and when trying to get a 
replacement ASAP, (I was leaving for vacation in the morning, so I had 
only a few hours to fix the problem or my office would be without service 
until I got back), they told me that ADSL/SDSL/IDSL routers (not modems, 
ie: ones with multiple ethernet ports built in), were all the same 
technology, and the style DSL they connected to was simply a programming 
setting that was easily changed.

I can't confirm if this is true, as the other two routers I had available 
to try to swap with, I was never able to access them for programming. But 
it was what the support rep was attempting to get me to do as a solution, 
so it might very well be true. (in the end, I yanked the power supply out 
of one of the other two I had, and swapped it for the dead one in my 
router to restore service).
