    Not quite. The Prestige 630 connects to the PC by USB. The 640 and
    higher models have a built in 10/100 Ethernet port, if not built in
    ethernet switches or WiFi.

    Unfortunately I have no idea if the 630 will work with FreeBSD. The
    643 and 645 models work fine as ADSL routers connecting via Ethernet.
    The firewalling capability on the 645 is not brilliant -- I think that
    has been much improved in the 650 and above models.
