Freesco is great. I used it when I had ISDN, but had to switch when I 
got DSL. (I don't think it will do PPPoE or ADSL. It didn't at that 
time.)
(Also, IIRC, I read it would only use your NIC at 10Mb, but I'm not 
sure about that now.)
Take a look at IPCOP (www.ipcop.org) if Freesco won't do what you need.
I switched over to IPCop and haven't had a problem at all.  Very simple 
setup and administration.
