To those of you lucky enough to get ADSL in your area, I would strongly
recommend getting a router rather than a modem. I got one called an Alcatel
Speedtouch 510.  I didn't install it, so I don't know what's involved, but
it's been up non-stop without a single problem for 4 months, and isn't
bothered by switching from OS9 to OSX.

I don't know why everyone (including Macuser) insists on recommending
modems.  The Westell modem supplied by BT would crash several time a week,
requiring driver reinstallation.  Also Westell have decided not to make OSX
drivers for the modem, and BT refused to exchange it with one that already
had OSX drivers written (Alcatel), despite calling them within days of
having the system fitted.  I'll stop there because I can feel my blood
pressure rising.
