To avoid compatibility issues and to save leaving a box on all the time to share the ADSL, I bought a Solwise 715 router/switch. I have been really happy with it, and the thing is so flexible in its use, though the web console is pretty naff. They have such a strong community and always willing to help and direct.
Have a look, they also got a very good review at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/hardware/reviews/2002/q3/sar_715.asp

Hope this helps.

I already have an external modem - 56k USR - on it and if I'm to leave the smoothie box on all the time I'd like to have as few other things switched

at the same time.
Go there, you're better off getting a adsl router with firewall built in anyway. Something like the speedtouch pro single port adsl router.
Worth considering.
