[ubuntu-uk] Hooking up a machine running Ubuntu to a Mark 1, BT HomeHub

[Rowan]

I realise that it would be impractical to provide a printed user manual 
when Ubuntu is constantly evolving,  but the principle "RTFM" should 
still apply, and all new purchasers or users should be directed 
immediately to that site, if they do not know of it, as I did not.
