[Gllug] Broadband modems

[Andrew Richardson]

I would definitely agree with getting a router.  They are a little bit 
more expensive but then they give you some extra protection (nat + 
firewall), are not OS specific and allow for easy shared simultaneous 
access.

Personally I have a solwise 715.  Nice blue metal box, 4 port hub 
included.  Easy to set up and a good support forum.  Just over £ 100
