Hey guys. Anyone know if there is a chance to see coming a Routerboard with an integrated ADSL interface???
It would be great. Until know i have made bridge the DSL modems and used Mikrotik for routing the LANs but it would be nice to have a product that does it all…
As far as I know, there are not.
So, currently used setup is the best way to achieve, what you want.
I think it should stay the way it is. As soon as you start integrating DSL and other connections onto the board, it starts to resemble a home router and I don’t think that is what Mikrotik wants.
It’s great as it is, you then plug whatever you need into the ethernet ports, DSL, diginet, T1, iBurst, 3G whatever.
Also consider the redundancy issues. If you have a lightning strike, it’s normally the DSL modem that is zapped and you don’t want the router going south. A DSL modem in South Africa costs a couple of hundred Rand, about $80 so it’s not worth compromising the router with integrated stuff.
But hey, that’s just my ten cents worth.
YMMV
With the low cost RB150 that is a SOHO router i think Routerboard wants to impact these type of clients.
Here in Albania, ADSL is widely used by the ISP and would be great to introduce the RB150 (if it had a ADSL interface) 
would it be possible to use this card made by sangoma?
Supported interfaces are listed here,

I would like to revive this topic.
Whenever we ship our clients a MikroTik hotspot solution, we have to ship two devices:
- A RouterBOARD.
- An ADSL modem
I really think that in 2011 it’s worth considering ADSL interface on RouterBOARDs. Already you have USB ports for 3G failover. Why no ADSL?
I agree. It’s a pain.
I will need to find a half-bridge, or 1:1 NAT capable router in order to use a routerBOARD for a customer I have in mind.
+1 for xDSL interface modules, or integrated routers.
try these - they do the PPPoA ADSL modem part, but out of the box, with no other config, you set the Mikrotik pppoe-client to authenticate the customer. So even if the ISP is PPPoA, the modem converts the PPPoE to PPPoA and back again. No NAT, no ‘half bridge tricks’, just a modem So if it gets damaged by lightning, you throw it in the rubbish and plug in a new one. No config. Even customer can do this. Easy. All config is in your RB. We use these because in Guernsey there is only one ISP (C&W) and they do not support PPPoE on their ADSL, only PPPoA. In UK, ISP supports both. But with these modems, we don’t care.
The best way will be to plug an adsl usb modem (there is plenty of it)
