Another solution is the "black box" approach using Xrouter, D-Link, 
Link-Sys, etc.  The prices of these have dropped to about $150 for a 
10/100BaseT, 4-port unit.  If you just need a single port to uplink into 
an existing Hub or system you can get a unit from Hawking for about $90.  
They all claim to support PPPoE, dhclient for the WAN connection and 
dhserver for the LAN side and work with DSL or cable modems.  
Configuation via Web, telnet or a Windows app.  Some of the better prices 
I've seen are on www.egghead.com, but there might be even better sources 
and cheaper prices.
