Verizon uses PPPoE on all their dynamic IP address DSL accounts. Their

Since no one mentioned it, I'll tell you what I use for my SDSL
router/firewall:
an old PC with 2 NICs and OpenBSD with ipf and ipnat. (I'm still running
OpenBSD 2.7.)
If you have an old machine to spare, i'd definitely recommend going this
route rather than getting a "broadband" router. My re

Define "decent".
You can go into Staples or Best Buy or CompUSA or even Wal-Mart and buy
just about any "SOHO router" and get a

Stay away from Linksys. We have about 50 8 port firewall/gateway poxed
deployed. They seem to "go dumb" and need a reboot once an a while,
even with the new firmware, also throughput isn't that good on them,
compared to the netgear routers that we have deployed...

We use a lot of Greatspeed brand routers for our corporate DSL
offerings. They seem to be pretty reliable, and they have models with a
