I agree, the linksys are awesome.  I'm hoping to upgrade to the
linksys router with built-in 802.11b wireless basestation and 4
ports.  Amazon has a good deal on it.

But, the linksys are cable/DSL routers, not cable/DSL modem/routers.
I think that the original question was for a DSL modem with built in
hub or switch.  With the linksys routers you still need a DSL modem.
