Does anybody know if there is an adapter that will connect the Openreach box on the wall to a High speed USB port on a server, thus making it possible to use a (linux) machine as a router?
There is no technical reason this can't but done, but what adapter is needed? There are lots of web pages on doing the software side so I assume the linux side and login to plusnet is not hard for a techie to do. Obviously, plusnet will not support this and testing a perceived BB fault would mean plugging the router back in etc., but it would save me 18w 365/24 which is worth doing.

Why a high speed USB port? why not just connect the ONT to the server with ethernet?
