Greetings list,

I know this one's probably been covered on the list in the past (it certainly 
has on the m0n0wall list), but I thought it would be worth again bringing up 
the topic of PCI modem support in pfSense.

With the good load balancing support in pfSense these days and the massive 
price difference between ADSL and SDSL, I'm finding a lot of our deployments 
are environments with 2-5 ADSL connections in a load balanced configuration.

Of course, in the UK ADSL is presented via PPPoA, which necessitates a separate 
ADSL modem/router for each ADSL connection. In the limited space of a wall box, 
adding 5 ADSL modems with their 12v power supplies etc. does consume a vast 
amount of space.

What are the obstacles to adding PCI ADSL modem support (and PPPoA 
authentication) to pfSense? Is there any interest in the community for this 
feature?

If anyone's interested in working on it, I am prepared to contribute to a 
bounty to make it viable for development work to occur.

Regards,

Chris
