He's going to need an ADSL modem, so why not get one with a router built |
| 7 |
in? In fact, here in the UK, it is all but impossible to buy an ethernet |
| 8 |
ADSL modem without a built in router. I bought the only one I could |
| 9 |
find, a D-Link, and it was useless, so I went back to the combined unit. |

Over here, ISPs supply a "free" USB modem. The reason it's free is that's |
| 12 |
a reasonable assessment of its value. So you end up buying an ethernet |
| 13 |
modem anyway, and that includes a router. |
