Routers do a pretty basic job, and the most basic ADSL routers run a closed source operating system that you can't alter. If they don't offer a function that you want you are stuck.

The more powerful routers, or a PC running a linux/bsd based OS are usually more flexible, and configurable.

A PC running something like IP Cop and some commercial ADSL routers that can be flashed with a custom system, give you ultimate control.

Do a google search for ADSL routers and linux and you should get a few hits of the devices that can be tinkered with.
