The only ones I've seen were rather expensive and aren't modem's - they are
routers... so you have to still have your ADSL modem, your cable modem, your
load balancing router, which generally does a poor job, and has all kinds of
limitations...

Why spend $500 bucks on a load shared with an inadequate non-open source
firewall that doesn't do what I want and then have to add a firewall anyways
;-)

And worse, it works in NAT mode, and probably screws up ipsec, and traffic
shaping too...

Is that enough reasons to try building a better mousetrap?
