The advice I'd like, is some "do's" and "don'ts" when switching from
dial-up to DSL with FreeBSD.

Not to sound overly arch, but a generic subject is not going to
garner you nearly as much help as something specific.

It would also depend on whether you are going to be using PPoE
or not, but I would mostly be concerned about keeping up on
security updates if you are going to be leaving your machine
connected most or all of the time.

This might also be a good time to start reading up on firewalls
and packet filters.
