I would recommend a Livingston PortMaster for FreeBSD. We tried an Annex3 terminal server and it is not capable of handling ISP-level service. A portmaster appears to be a good choice and as Chris pointed out above, you can get pretty good performance with a 28.8k modem (roughly 80kbps). The lack of a graphical interface (because it's freebsd) is a minus, but it can still be configured manually. My $0.02/2 cents. Elya.
