How to connect a USB ADSL modem to a router with only an ethernet input??

I have no idea how to do this, so if anyone could shed any light i would be very grateful.

I have this modem: http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/produsb.htm

and this router: 802.11b Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router

I am guesssing i need some kind of converter but i can't find one, any ideas?

I would have to agree. As you already have a wireless router, a simple modem such as http://www.netgear.com/products/prod...ID=171&view=hm would do the job. Available at Dabs.com for around £65

Maplin do a "USB 2.0 to Ethernet Adaptor" £34+vat. Not sure if it would do what your after. I sold my USB modem and bought a ethernet modem for less than this, although USB modems don't fetch much nowadays.
