    So are you going onto NTL cable?
    If so NTL will supply a cable modem foc & I would think that you should be able to plug the output from that into your 3com router (either via ethernet or USB).

    no, it doesn't work like that, the NTL 'modem' is a cable to ethernet bridge, it needs a host to work with, be it a computer or a generic 'broadband' router, your current adsl router wont work with it. Since as far as your 3com router is concerned its adsl port is the wan port its concerned with routing.
