A typical setup should look something like this: pstn local loop <--pots line--> ADSL modem/bridge/router <--ethernet--> Your router/network. Just plug the ethernet port from your 'ADSL box' into your Alix and configure it for ppoe/a, dhcp or whatever your provider requires. The modem is still a point of failure whether or not it is a card internal to the Alix, a usb adapter (which I don't think any are supported on OpenBSD), or an external device. I prefer an external device as it is easier to replace.
