This is not exactly what you are asking for, but its getting close:

Look at the "Clipcomm" devices (Korea). I'd be interested in any reports 
& experiences.

Next to that the newer Grandstream firmware now supports PPPoE (but now 
routing or port forwarding). Not sure what the CISCO devices offer in 
this respect. I wouldn't want to have ADSL modem & router coupled in one 
device, that'll make your router useless if you move to cable modem etc. 
So better not integrate too many task into one piece of hardware.
