Best hookup is the adsl modem to a hardware firewall, one of the SMC or
Netgears will work fine. Plug them both into a decent sized UPS.
The 4 porters are OK, SMC makes an 8 port and linksys/cisco makes an RV016
that is probably the most flexable out there, especially if you decide to
get another broadband connection, it will handle like 5 broadband
connections, plus you get 16 or so ports for expansion.
