hi Tony,

I'd recommend going for a Linux-supported PCI ADSL modem, gives you full
control over the NAT/routing to do as you wish.

I've used a number of Sangoma PCI ADSL modems in different locations
around NZ without problems, which I purchased from an AU company
traverse.com.au 

Whilst they don't appear to sell that model any more, they do sell
another that looks like an attractive option:
