Cheap but they should work and, more importantly, work out of the box
with Linux.
Thanks Kevan,
But with no internet connection or credit cards the voluntary
group in question is restricted to what is available locally
[until I can get to them, if no-one else does].
I think they'll be hard-pressed to find much below 50 quid
in Stafford - I have a feeling PC World concentrate on
wireless ADSL boxes :-/
Hence the alternative of getting someone to help them with
what they have :-)

One irony is that someone donated them a MS Windows box,
so that it would be easier for them to find local help - and this
box died recently after never working properly.
