ADSL Modems.....

Hi there,

I am attempting to install ADSL in my home, I was planning on setting up a
small network with a four port router and plugging an ethernet modem into
the router, however by mistake, I forgot to check what kind of modem my ISP
supplied and lo and behold, it was a USB one.
My question is, can I get a converter to plug my USB modem into my ethernet
router, or do I need to get a seperate modem. Where would I go for either of
these and how much are they likely to set me back?

Many thanks,

Stephen

No converters that I'm aware of, but there is this option:

some usb adsl modems come with an ethernet port as well so you can
plug in your cable there for a connection to your router...check with
your isp abt the modem
