Second tip - make sure all your machines are patched, firewalled and virus scannered, all of which can be had for free - nothing like an always on connection to make the bastards of the Internet focus on you.

Ack, I never thought of that (the security issue for the wireless thingy)...what type of security you do mean? I have virus software and use the XP firewall thingie, which works well (tested it tonight on a free test site and there are no holes), and the other PCs will have the same.
When I get the word the connection is good to go, the dudes at Curl will walk me through the modem and ADSL set up. I kinda know what I'm doing, and unlike men, I tend to read instructions, so I should be fine. If I have any issues, I'll yell out!
