I"m not sure how you want to connect but I use a bay networks netgear router. I know you said you were looking for a isdn external modem but I've found both the netgear 200 and 300 series to be good routers for the price of a isdn modem. The two routers in the 200 series are glorified isdn modems and can't do NAT or DHCP (I think) but only cost between 190 and 250. The one 300 series router does it all snd only cost about 300 but works *GREAT*. You can't beat them. As far as connecting them. You basically need an Network card(25 or less) and cable. Plus you can add more computers later with the addition of a hub!! As long as the router is up and FreeBSD knows the correct info (network address, default gateway, etc.) its as easy as setting up a win 95 box.
