After reading all responses to my previous post (thanks guys!), I think its pretty clear I was barking up the wrong tree, not looking at the ready built soekrises :) So on to my next question, what to use for an internal dsl card.
After googling around, it seems clear there are no modern / reliable mini-pci dsl modem cards, but there are some PCI ones. The preferred one seems to be the Sangoma S518 PCI ADSL Modem. I've read both that this card does not work in openbsd any longer (ever since they changed the form factor in the latest revision) but others say it does too work. Does anyone here know for sure if this internal dsl modem card works in openbsd? I read posts from one guy who claimed he had put it in a soekris net4801, so assuming he was using an adapter, does anyone know here if this is a safe approach? Can the soekris deliver enough power through the mini-pci bus? I realize doing this would require modding the soekris box, but thats ok. Some other guy said in a post that internal dsl cards are like winmodems, shoving most of the work over to the host machine. Is this true? For a card going for over $100 this seems pretty strange.
