Me too, I am wondering for connecting my home SBS network,
I am waiting for DSL to connect my home soon, 

one Interesting stuff I saw in one of PC catalog is. 

Linksys EtherFast/DSL router for $189.
feature say
. Equipped 4 port 10/100 switch
. Connects all of your PCs to the internet with only one IP address
. Creates a firewall to protect your PCs
. Configurable through any networked PCs Web browser
. Can acts as either DHCP server or client
. VPN Compatible with all standard internet application

I am not a network guru to understand all of these means
but, some kind of clue to lead to connecting  DSL to HP927LX LAN?
perhaps It route DSL to Ethernet?

Cheers

I was researching putting DSL in our company and came quickly to the
conclusion that this would all work better over a LAN with multiple
people sharing one high-speed internet connection.  At the moment, we
have terminals/PC's serially connected to our 927LX and 4 PC's using
dialup accounts to connect to the Internet. The 927LX has no connection
to the Internet.

Having no expertise in the LAN area, I am curious about what other
people have done.

Like, I know it is possible to hook up PC's and printers to the HP3000
on its built-in LAN. But then where does that leave me as far as a DSL
connection to the Internet? Would I then have to connect it to the
HP3000? Would I want to? In the words of Sergeant Schultz, "I know
nothing!!!"

TIA
