[Gllug] ADSL Modem recommendations

The device I have is the router part only, no DSL modem built in.  Therefore
it is usable for both NTL Cable Internet access as well as DSL internet
access provided the DSL modem has ethernet out and not USB.  I will look at
the Alcatel modem that was recommended in another response.

My commiserations. Still, it's done now, and there's no point crying
over spilt milk...

If you already have a DSL Router, you don't need an ADSL modem. Simply
configure the router to be your default route on your Linux boxen, and
it should all just work.
