Here's the one I use. You'll need an ethernet card with it, but that will save a USB port and CPU resource. It's my 3rd ADSL modem and the best yet, while also being the cheapest! It's an absolute piece of cake to set up and definitely the dog's danglies. Note the price. This modem is currently obtainable from
the shop next door to Rod's place.
