I went to Microcenter and bought the Zoom X4 DSL.  It works fine -- it may be 
tricky to set up, but if you get it and have troubles, email me, I can make 
it easy for you.  You just need some hard-to-find information.

Forethought.net is even recommending that their customers use this modem.  
It's $99, I think.  It does the usual gateway stuff.  Theres is also an X5, 
which includes a 4 or 5 port switch

HTH,
