[Klug-general] getting broadband

[Karl Buckland]

Hi James,

For the most part if you get a Router rather than a modem from your
broadband provider, then you'll have a web interface to the router and
any computer (running Windows, Mac or Linux) will be able to use it.

Sky, BT, Orange, O2, etc - all the big players should be fine - if you
get a router.
