Correct me if I'm wrong, but having two firewalls is better than one.
One for the DSL modem that is exposed to the internet, and then a separate firewall for the internal lan that is only exposed to the DSL firewall is better than firewalling everything from 1 box. It may delay a compromise and make tracking logs easier.

I'd recomend the DSL-300 from D-Link. There it maintains the authentication and you just plugin a cat5 crossover to your system. On the system it's connected to, you just use dhcp to configure the IP address on it.
What I'm thinking of doing, if it's possible (this was going to
be my next
question) is change the Freesco box to bridge mode, feeding the
alcatel, with
my web server (yet another box) hanging off the alcatel. That
way my Lan is
effectively double-firewalled.
'double-firewalled' is really not going to mean much.
I refuse to say free-->SCO<-- is a good idea.
