New ADSL connection

I am thinking of getting the Nildram ADSL package, along with the USB
modem they offer. Can I, at a later date, install a router using the
existing USB modem? I have a Realtek RTL 8139/810X family fast
Ethernet NIC card installed, and am running Windows XP (home). Many
thanks for any information.

There are a few routers that can use a USB modem, but that since you
can get a router with a modem built in from £50 it seems an expensive
route to take.

How much do you need to pay for the USB modem from Nildram? If it is not
free, check Ebuyer, it has ADSL modem/router for around £35 inclusive VAT.
Seems only Draytek has router with USB support but it is quite expensive
though.
