I can second the recommendation for the S519. I'm using one in a net5501 with the Leaf/Bering linux. I haven't noticed any problems due to heat, but the rest of my the net5501 case is empty (no disk). This is in the US with AT&T residential DSL (3.0Mbps / 384Kbps). I followed the instructions on http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-adsl2-support to set up PPPoE bridging, and then the PPPoe instructions for Leaf's debian-like network setup just worked. I think the sangoma cards are so trouble-free to set up because they're pretty much indistinguishable (as far as software) from a outboard dsl modem connected by ethernet to a port - except that there's one less case, power brick, and network cable.
