Certainly most if not all of the ADSL modems I have ever seen teksavvy
sell, provide ethernet only.  They are not routers, and they do not run
PPPoE in the modem (that would be a router job after all), and they do
not have IP of any kind.

The other things are combined ADSL modems and routers.  I got one of those
for my sister when she got ADSL which is a router/ADSL2+ modem/Wifi AP
in one.  Very handy.
