I've a Billion BIPAC 5102 here, and a ADSL-SAR-600EW elsewhere.  Both
are straightforward, cheap, and work fine.  I've never had to anything
fancy, like use them with a VPN: just allow a hole for ssh. 

I usually buy things from Solwise these days.  The company seems to be 
run by clueful human beings. 

I especially like their "ethernet over mains" thingies.  A bit pricey,
though.
