We have one that does not include a modem but that is because its designed to plug in to two ADSL connections at once and so you need to add on two modems to it. So you can have automatic fall over or load balancing. Most standard off the shelf consumer ones have the modem portion built in. The ones like i have tend to be more expensive and less common anyway.
