DSL on NetBSD? Been there, doing that (with SNET here in CT). Here's how...
http://www.dubbele.com
...Since it's only a stipped down version of NetBSD, you add to it, and make
it a full NetBSD system, if you like, but that's not a good idea to do on a
firewall...

To create your own, you might need the PPPoE driver from Roaring Penguin,
which is in the packages collection, or go see (for the latest)...
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
...It's easy enough to compile.

! Subject: DSL or Cable Modem for NetBSD?
! 
! 
! Are there instructions or comments anywhere about 
! connecting NetBSD to DSL or Cable Modem?
! 
! I'm leaning toward DSL, and searched the port-i386 
! archive for DSL as far back as January, finding naught.
! 
! I'm thinking to pick up an older computer, load NetBSD 
! onto it, and employ it as a firewall/router at my home. I 
! want to be able to dial into it from telephone, or 
! telnet (or ssh) in via the always-on web. Samba and VNC 
! look pretty cool. I really want to do something with both 
! of those. And in general, I want to get some on-line 
! things going so that I can play around with them and 
! learn how best they work, etc... I've a chance to 
! introduce NetBSD at work too, if I can get VNC online to 
! my four networked NT's via NetBSD. I've already got it 
! networked in (ping-able is all) and have a chance to play 
! around some.
! 
! But first I must decide upon an ISP, DSL or cable modem. 
! And none of the providers say anything about connecting 
! to Unix. Does anyone have happy/unhappy experiences 
! specific to NetBSD with DSL or cable modem?
!
