	This should do the job, it'll need a DSL or Cable modem (Ethernet-type)
to go with it though as it doesn't have one built in.

	We're using a Netgear DG814 ADSL Router, which has a DSL modem built
in, it does Port Forwarding so you can run the website behind it.  This
is how we've got it set up:

	We were using a D-Link DSL-504, however that's currently on its way to
Sydney to have its firmware re-loaded.  I tried flashing it, it
transferred okay, but I'd say the chipset was too old to understand the
new firmware image and therfore didn't boot.  The firmware used was for
a Generation 1 router, not Generation 2, it does not mention Generation
2 anywhere on the case.
