Red face ADSL2+ modem for Old Mac 10.3.9 ??

I have 2 old macs ... a G4 on 10.3.9 and a Powerbook G4 on 10.4.11

Would like to upgrade to ADSL2+ and have identified 2 suppliers with DSlams in my area : iiNet & TPG

Now, I'm trying to find out which ADSL2+ modem would be suitable for my old 10.3.9 Mac as I don't intend to upgrade it

any tips?

Pretty much any that has an ethernet port, which should be just about all of them.

Any Ethernet based modem should be fine. Although you may need to use a modern version of Firefox to configure it as the older versions of Safari may or may not work with the configuration of more recent modems. The TP-Link TD-8810 is good and only $40-50.

Avoid USB modems at all costs.
