Convert Cable Router to ADSL

Last year I bought a US Robotics Broadband Router to use with my Telewest Cable modem. It has 4 network ports and one RJ45 WAN port (also has a print server as a little extra!). All has worked well and it has run 24/7 for 365 days with nearly no problems at all.

The time however has come to move on and it is likely that my next broadband connection will be ADSL and not Telewest Cable. Is there any way that I can add in an ADSL modem to this router to save me spending another £60+ to buy an ADSL Router?

A normal ADSL modem (if I could find one with an RJ45 connector and not a USB port) would be of little use as you would have no way of entering the ADSL username/password.

I know that ebuyer sell a 1-port ADSL modem router - would that be any good? If so would it plug into one of the LAN ports or would it be happy using the WAN port? Doesn't matter if it uses up a LAN port as I've more hubs I can link to create the number of ports needed.

Any ideas apprecaited...need to save money!
