Cheers MJR,
I think I will stick with the Linux box route, rather than a all singing and dancing router which restricts in many respects. I thought I would go for a router at the start as there must be overhead with USB modems via USB, Drivers and OS constraints. I think I will purchase a USB modem though as I don't want to occupy a PCI slot for an internal. Would love to purchase some mini-atx components, and love some of those diddy cases out there, though at present I have no money, spending a fortune on babies nappies :(
Guys, please feel free to add or comment further, you thoughts are most inspiring and helpful.
J

Running a K6/2 500 underclocked to 300 with no CPU fan in a small ATX case with a whisper-quiet PSU fan (check www.quietpc.com for them). I do have a mobile k6 233 to hand, but the 500 seems fine (for now!).
