[cumbria_lug] Broadband and Linux

I'd agree with Mark. When we got ADSL, we had the option of ISP-supplied
USB modem or router. We paid the extra for a router, and have been very
happy with it. Ours (can't remember the make/model, and I'm at work) only
has one port, but that plugs into a 10/100 switch and allows all our
computers to use the router.

I don't know what other people's opinion would be, but I'd recommend buying
a cheap router from Ebuyer. 100% compatible with our favourite OS and well
it provides much better security (not that Linux needs too much help :P)
I've installed a few of these now, and had no problems with them (apart from
when I play with them and flash the firmware, tinker tinker tinker)
