I wonder if you might be better off building a dedicated old machine (P3 or maybe something slower) and bunging in a PCI ADSL Modem card and sticking either a distro on and configure it, or (if it was me) take the easy route and maybe use something like IPCop/Smoothwall/etc (delete as appropriate).

I looked for ADSL PCI cards a while back - didn't find any - well actually, I did, but I didn't find ny to support adsl2+ - what is out there?

Same for USB adapters - No ADSL2+ - or are there?

I was looking for a way to turn my little PBX systems into routers - I'm currently looking at using an ADSL modem and bridge to a 2nd Ethernet port.
