i suggest getting *both* a low-end router, *and* locking down your
box with iptables.

currently, in the house, the DSL modem plugs into a pretty
inexpensive linksys WAP *with* a 4-port switch.  my brother
plugs his box directly into the linksys hub, while i run
my laptop from the office down the hall.

the linksys was around $100 US, and it's a great investment,
since it gives you wireless access, as well as some internal
filtering.

you can *never* have too much protection.
