Okay, I'm shifting house next week and my new abode is in an area that
has DSL (at last).

So, what's the recommended DSL modem (preferably something including a
3-4 port hub and good firewalling capabilities with a price tag under
$10

Not quite under $10 but I use and recommend the Nokia M1122. Built in
firewall, easy to configure with a web interface, you can open up pinholes
to allow remote connections etc. Have never had any trouble with it. It has
4 10Mb/s ports on it.

AFAIK they've been discontinued, but I have a spare that I could be
persuaded to part with.

(All - what's a reasonable price for one of these now?)

At home I'm using a DSE X-something-or-other - 4 port 100Mbps switch,
optional USB, sweet as and cheap (circa $250). Pulled the Nokia out of the
loop at the office and replaced with another beast (which I can't recall -
will check and get back) that has full SPI firewall, solid as a rock.

I know, not tremendously helpful...

I recommend the Dynalink DSL Routers

This one has a 4 port 100mb switch

This one is the same as the above but with 802.11b WiFi
http://www.dynalink.co.nz/products/rta300w.htm

Both support (and it actually works) UPnP for traversing NATs
