    I use a EICON 2430 SE ADSL modem, it has a USB & RJ45 connection. The RJ45
    is connected to my SMC barricade router/hub/firewall and my ADSL provider is
    BT.
    See www.eicon.com/diva2430SE for more details.

    >From the web page:

    "The Diva ADSL 2430 SE is a single-user ADSL Modem for connection to the
    Internet via Ethernet or USB.

    Using Ethernet, no Diva drivers are required, just an Ethernet connection
    and an Internet browser. Using USB, a simple Diva 2430 SE driver must be
    installed from the Diva CD.

    To make it extremely easy for the connection of a single user to the
    Internet, the 2430 SE has very fixed rules and very limited options about
    how it can be configured."

    As stated above, the SE is fixed on certain configuration details, like RJ45
    interface has to be 192.168.1.1, for home use this is fine, for business you
    may want to use a non-SE model unless you can route between a mini network
    (192.168.1) and your main LAN. I have has no issues with it at all.

    Mail me directly (off-list), if you want more info.
