One of the problems that I see that you get into is to worry about
things before you know all of the details.

Qwest has typically shipped a router/modem combination (Actiontec) with
wireless in the past which would probably give you what you need in a
firewall. A different ISP might arrange a different modem be sent. Why
not choose your ISP, get the DSL stuff ordered and see what you get
before you put everyone through the paces of what you might want to use
for a firewall.
