ADSL to Ethernet bridge?

I am currently subscribing to BT's Business 500 with fixed IP address ADSL service...

I want to be able to 'bridge' from ADSL to Ethernet so I can connect ADSL into a Raptor Firewall.... (ie our fixed IP address from ADSL needs bridging through straight to the ethernet interface)..

The modem supplied by BT is USB based, so NT4 is no good (please dont suggest the dodgy USB stack for NT4) and if I install on 2000 server Raptor doesn't recognise the ADSL link as a valid network entity - hence the need for ethernet.

Has anyone accomplished this??? I've had a go with a 3com 612 office router by disabling PAT but to no avail...

Thanks
-Darren

Have you tried a USB to Ethernet adapter, allowing you to connect the ADSL modems USB connector to an Ethernet cable.
