The original post said,
"I'd avoid a pci card with a router abilities because I have
some doubts about its security. I mean that a typical home
netgear/linksys router are really easy to hack. it's very
simple download the firmware from the vendor site, uncompress
it and then insert some kind of trojan/sniffer then flash it
on the device. So I have the same suspects on pci router
card thus I want a pure adsl modem card instead of a mdem
router. And finally why shoud I want a router inside a host
with just one ethernet port ????
So the Viking-type cards (router glued onto a PCI ethernet i.e
http://linitx.com/product/adsl2-pci-card-single-port-adsl-modem-annex-a/12181)
are exactly what OP is trying to avoid.
For the "pure adsl modem card" it's going to be something like a
Solos (if you can find a source, as they are EOL) or S518 (sangoma's
site doesn't say they are EOL, though the OS support list doesn't
include anything recent, so may need some fiddling for current
systems, and they're adsl1 only). But there is no driver support
for any of these on OpenBSD.
