As other replies have said, by far the most straightforward option may 
be a combined ADSL modem, router & 4-port switch.

A friend of mine has the Netgear DG834G - it includes an 802.11b/g 
wireless port as well. He tells me that you can telnet into the box and 
it runs a mini Linux distro. Some Linksys boxes allow the same.

For the benefit of the list, I have a DLink DSL-300T which is just a 
simple ADSL modem, and not much more. It provides an ethernet port 
which I connect to a tiny m0n0wall -based system, and then an 8-port 
switch. The DSL-300T also runs a small Linux distro; it's available 
most reasonably from Amazon.co.uk.

HTH,
oliver.
