Speedtouch Modem

Having spent the last few days cleaning out a friends' computer of all tha junk they have accumulated, I now have to try and replace the Speedtouch USB modem with a conventional modem/router. The ISP is Tiscali, so I was wondering if any forum members have any knowledge of what format Tiscali use to enter data into the new router. It's nearly two hours to my friend's house so I want to be prepared for any emergency that will arise, like a good scout, "Be Prepared" ! Thanks in anticipation.
