One of my clients is very keen to get a usb adsl modem, for tidiness more than anything.
How is a USB modem any tidier than one that uses ethernet? Surely it still requires a cable between them!
Anyway, just thought I'd chip in with a recommendation and say that I got a Draytek Vigor 100 ADSL modem recently which has performed admirably so far. It provides no firewall/routing capabilities and simply acts as a bridge - the connecting device uses PPPoE to set up a connection and obtain a WAN IP address directly through it.
Definitely happy with it's performance at the moment.
