    Hi people,
    My question is unusual let say…
    i have at home internet provided by a company that uses ADSL modems.

    http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=665

    my small topology is like this:
    adsl cable (RJ11) -> speedtouch 330 modem -> USB to PC.

    My question is : It's some posibility to connect the modem(via USB) or direct the RJ-11 cable to ALIX2d3+mini-pci wifi motherboard and route this connection.

    Thank you in advance.

    Happy PfSense user :)

      By far the easiest way to connect your ADSL would surely be an ADSL router, which would give you an ethernet connection

      Ebuyer for instance has several wired routers for around £30 wireless from about £40

        I'm not aware of any software support in FreeBSD (and hence pfSense) for USB ADSL modems. As martinw suggested, if you want to use pfSense you should be looking at ADSL modems with an ethernet connection.

            Just to let you know if budget is an issue someone (not me) on ebay is selling BT Voyager ADSL modems/router (with 1 ethernet port) for just under £5 delivered
