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.
