I recently got myself a second hand Conexant PCI adsl modem, very easy 
to setup, the hardest part was simply compiling pppd with the pppoatm 
plugin patch.
these usually support upto 4mbits aswell, btw, it was about 12 pounds on 
ebay

that said, on my 2.4.18 firewall bringing up and down the interface 
about 8 times in less than an hour makes the box oops on me.
