The Linksys DSL Router does include NAT and DHCP.  It also provides some
limited port forwarding and packet filtering abilities.  Although the
latest firmware does support PPOE, many have reported problems with
reliability.  Similar products are available from other vendors
including Asante, Netgear (which is really a ZyXEL), and Sonicwall.  The
Sonicwall has the most complete features, but is very expensive.
