Why not buy a DSL router?

Economics.

Router = £60
Looking up "RasDial" in help = £0

Bad economics. A router has the internet facing IP address and the boxen
behind it are not visible to the Internet (bad guys and all) provided
you use NAT and the firewall on the router.

If you use a USB modem to connect ADSL then the PC has the internet
facing IP address and the bad guys can kick the PC until they find a way
in.

And they will...
