How about using old (P2, with PCI bus network card) or small PCs (like eBox, about 100 EUR new) as Linux or *BSD boxen directly as DSL endpoints?
This way you can parallelize stress testing even on the PC level. Question is what you want to stresstest to need such capacity. A recent PC or Laptop can generate about half a Gbit/s worth of test-traffic against a HTTP server (and serve as much e.g. with Apache 1.3 under Linux). But I've still got to see a 100Mbit/s DSL line, not to mention a Gbit/s line...
Bye
