Nico,

The reason I ask was that most DSL providers loan/rent/sell you a DSL router, 
such as the Cisco 675/678, which usually do NOT have a built in switch.  What 
I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial 
capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem.

Am I correct?  If so, I think there was a mix-up in the terminology.
