Many people use it, I use OpenWRT. The trick is to set up your DSL  
modem in half bridge mode, or IP address forwarding mode. This means  
your DSL modem is a bit smarter than a media converter - it handles  
the PPP connection - but does not do any IP level management.

How to do it depends on your DSL modem, so check the documentation for  
that.
