Another alternative, is buy a DSL router - I've always been buying Netgear, and so the Netgear DG834 is ideal. It comes in various models, DG834, DG834G and DG834GT - I have the GT model, which offers 108mbps wireless but if you don't need it then you can buy a lesser model.
I have the DG834G (with wireless switched off) - had no problems. :)

Google has open-sourced an experimental programming language that attempts to crossbreed a dynamic web-happy language like Python with a compiled language like C++.
"There is a growing rebellion against cumbersome type systems like those of Java and C++, pushing people towards dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript, [but] some fundamental concepts such as garbage collection and parallel computation are not well supported by popular systems languages," the company says.
