There are allot of chip routers with ADSL dialers that cost around the 100$.
I worked with few of them and its easy and fun, and in the Linux all you have to do is configure a simple Ethernet using a DHCP. The routers come with 4 ports so you can share the connection. -------------------------- Canaan Surfing Ltd.
