I've not had much experience with an eTec ADSL modem, although the IPCop 
forum may be a good place to look (http://www.ipcops.org/ IIRC). As 
IPCop is a linux-based router, they may have some information about it 
there.

As for connection - I (as you may guess ;) use IPCop, and that works 
well with a Connexant PCI ADSL Modem - been running now for over a year 
and for many weeks connected at a time (record I think is just under three).
