Default ADSL Modem and Router

I've got Pipex 1mb DSL connection and currently use their free 'Speed Touch' modem which plugs into the back of the PC via USB. I have a need to connect potentially another PC and/or my XBox (for XBox Live) but can't do this with the current setup.

I have no need for wireless. Can anyone suggest a decent 4 port DSL Modem and Hub preferably with a firewall built in?

Money isn't really an issue (as long as its Gold Plated!) - just want one that does the job well and is super reliable.

Cheers

That's what I have got, no complaints here. Although the firewall software isn't that impressive, I prefered blackice I was using before, although it is nice to acutally own the licence
