My assumption is that I could still use the same router after moving to HOT. I would just have to unplug the ADSL line and plug the HOT modem into one of the ethernet ports on the router. Am I correct?
well if you want to still use the router as a router, I'd think that you'd have to be able to tell the router that one of the LAN ports is now the WAN port, and also to tell it to use L2TP to authenticate to your ISP unless you can get this DHCP-like arrangement people have been talking about.
I'm not a network guru, but I'd think this unlikely for an ADSL modem/router combo (i.e. I suspect that the WAN port is always going to be the ADSL modem and that its authentication methods will be limited to those used over ADSL).
If this is the case, you'll want to by a regular ethernet router with L2TP support. These are easy enough to find in my experience, I managed to buy one the first business day after I moved here.
