Alcatel Speed Touch PC is an example of this (e.g. 
http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/prodpc.htm), other manufacturers have 
stuff like this as well. AFAIK, the thing is basically an ATM card with a 
front-end that does ADSL line coding. And no, not supported under OpenBSD. 
However, I picked up a rumor that somebody got a card of this type working 
under Linux using the most recent Linux ATM code and some hackerei, so I 
suppose it would be possible to create an OpenBSD driver; anybody with a lot 
of spare time around? :-|
