I don't have DSL.  Cable modem is  a better deal here.  Get one of the 
self-contained routers.  Around $50.  Then set your computer(s) up for 
DHCP.  The provider will only see on computer on the line, you can have 
more computers than will fit in your house share it, and you can forget 
about it for the most part.

Then go to dyndns.org, register for a free domain name, and you the 
you'll always be able to SSH to your home computer or run a website 
without mucking with the upstream provider.
