[Gllug] ADSL recommendations

[Tim Gray]

USB or Ethernet shouldn't make any difference, remember they just connect your
boxen to the router. As long as you have a static/known IP address and the DSL
router accepts incoming TCP connections your in business. I know BT wont allow
inbound connections but I imagine other ISPs do, regardless whether they deliver
over USB,Ethernet or two tins cans and some string ;)
