My household used the original Alcatel SpeedTouch Home that Telstra 
issued us with.

The Linux box does everything that an "all-in-one" ADSL router would do, 
and more (well, it probably adds a few milliseconds of latency into the 
connection, but I'm not a backbone provider so I don't care ;)

I keep wondering what's the attraction with plugging your machine 
directly into a four-port ADSL router, which is directly connected to 
the Internet.  Since you're already using IPCOP, you already have the 
functionality you want, so I'd suggest just using a modem rather than a 
router.
