Currently XORP does not implement its own NAT or proxy suite, which are
necessary components to implement what you're describing (a SoHo
internet gateway on the end of a NATted ADSL line). Driver support for
the modem will also be required.
If you or someone else is interested in porting this to the XORP
platform, we'd be very interested to hear from you.
The XORP LiveCD currently builds on top of the FreeBSD operating system,
so the forwarding plane in use is that of FreeBSD.
