The only piece of harware/software that I have heard regarding this is the
NetModem by Shiva(the 1200 is ~$359 and the 2400 is ~$439). The ads can be
found in any of the usual macazines (i.e. MacUser, MacWorld, etc...).
I don't know anything about the performance or how "invisible" the setup
is, but would be very interested in finding out.  I would think that the
necessary software would be included with the modem, but since I don't have 
the ad here with me, I am really not sure.

Hope this helps,
