OK - that's not a bad idea. Is there a particular USB thing you
recommend?

You need an ADSL modem and additionally a
router.

Sounds like someone's looking at Eclipse
;)

That's one way - but you lose an Ethernet
port...
Another possible way is to use an ADSL modem
presenting USB - that way it
becomes easier to setup RED (USB), ORANGE
&
GREEN zones (Ethernet).
Particularly important if you have a VIA board
with only one PCI slot.
With only the modem, the firewall does
NAT/pinholing etc and a combined ADSL
modem/router becomes redundant as you have to
run
it in bridged mode (well,
you do with the Asus I have).

I'm sure it can handle it...

How much do you want to spend
