Using a dial-up card for DSL

[skullabyss]

This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway of using a dial-up card to use as a DSL Modem Card with PFSense?

There are POTS cards and there are DSL cards. Different frequency's, different modulations, etc.
No  ;)

No, and trust me, you wouldn't want to.

Having a lightning strike fry a $30 DSL modem is a lot better than having it directly fry your $$$$$ pfSense router. :-)

The external modem is also easier to swap. They don't actually require a lightning strike to get fried, so I prefer to always keep a spare modem on the shelf.

I can even explain a "dumb user" how to swap modems if the internet failed after "something started to smell funny".
