The Linksys PAP2 ATA is fairly popular. It's pretty basic but can support 2 VOIP lines and covers most of the services you'd expect from your land line.

If you're after something to give more guaranteed service in the event of a broadband outage and assuming you're keeping your BT line for your ADSL, you might want to take a look at the Linksys Sipura range - some of those give the ability to plug your land line in with failover to that if the internet isn't available. They also allow you to configure call routing based on number so you can choose the cheapest provider for the number.

One other comment - for it to work effectively make sure you use a router with QoS on it. Otherwise you might have occasional problems with call quality.
