Virtually any DSL router that has RJ45 for both WAN & LAN
connections. Personally, I use the Netgear FVS318, a tad
more expensive than some..
If it's not labeled as ADSL, you *should* be ok ;-)

Thanks. Will that connect direct to the NTL socket or do I still need
some sort of modem?

& pray tell us all how you will be able use a USB to ethernet
converter when the USB is plugged into the Cable modem??

Just because there are such things it doesn't hold true that you can
use them everywhere (in both directions) as my friend found out when
they were sold a printer with only usb & had a PC without it. They
were sold a USB to LPT converter & told that it would work, it didn't
of course.

Little hint, with any USB to ethernet/LPT/comms converters the USB has
to be plugged into the computer!!!!!

Whilst generally true, this isn't alyways the case, eg:

http://www.dlink.co.uk/1918.htm

(Not tried one, probably will one day, though.)

It wouldn't help with the OP's question, of-course.

Doesn't meet the criteria, we were talking about converters not
servers which are a whole different ball game
