Routers / connections - 2 queries

Hi,

I am currently running broadband via a modem connected to the USB port
of the PC, but am looking to also connect my laptop using the same
connection.

I need to find a router that has a USB port to connect to my home PC
and an ethernet port to connect to my laptop.

Can anyone recomment any suitable products.

I currently connect to work via dial-up from home, is it possible to
use my broadband connection to do this rather than tying up the phone
line?

Any information appreciated that I can take to our IT department.

You'd be better off fitting an ethernet card to the home PC, as this
would widen your choice of routers, and probably give you a more reliable
connection to the PC as well.
