Currently, it seems that Microsoft and AOL do not get on with the Live service, and it will be 2004 before AOL supports ADSL gaming with Xbox - it is currently in beta stages. Anyway, when it is all 100% up and running I want to get it (£34.99 delivered from Play.com): but there may be a problem.
I am on AOL Broadband, and the modem that comes with it is a USB-only affair. How can I hook it up to the (Ethernet port) Xbox easily?

Use windows Internet connection sharing and have the XBox networked up to the PC or router if you`re using one. Assuming you`re using XP then it`s very easy to do and plenty of guides on the www.xbox.co.uk web site.
