not really. The other side of an ADSL network is a piece of equipement using a twisted pair to send ATM frame on top of an ADSL type of signal (24 ? (not sure anymmore) channels, there is a negociation between the 2 peers, blah blah blah, ). The most easy 'd be to by a cisco with 2 ethernet interfaces if you want to play around. Have a look on ebay. For the price of a new 8xx, i bet you can find a 2500 (well i dont think they exist with 2 ethernet though) or 2600 for playing. Another possibilty is to buy 2 old 2500 with 1 ethernet et 1 serial and crossover connect the 2 serial (with one DTE and one DCE cable). This is how most of people lurned and it'll allow you to play around with more signaling like Frame relay or eventually X25. Old cisco hardware is not that expensive even if it seems to have quite some success on ebay.
