My ISP gave me a 1-port Zyxel  Prestige 641 DSL router... took me less than
10 minutes to get it working.  You'll need to know a little a bit about
network configuration, but I'm pretty sure you'll get lots of help from the

I can't imagine this being a requirement unless your equipment requires
some weird kernel modules to be loaded... I think this would be highly
unusual with a DSL solution.
