Sean, I would agree about the use of a router. If you happen to be a Bell customer I would also recommend that you use the SBC Two Wire router as SBC will help you with support. It it breaks within a year they will replace it. Their router does work quite well and is very reliable. The nicest thing is the 24 hour customer support available to you. Also, by using their product they can not play the Point The Finger game with you. It is their line, their DSL service and their router therefore they can help solve the problems.

If your getting dsl, depending on your needs, you should get a built-in router with some kind of a firewall. It isn't very advanced however. If you want to get a router, most routers also have firewalls built-in which are better then zoanalarm will be. I've heard linksys? Anyone else want to chime in?
