I was researching this yesterday, my new house is in an ADSL area :)
The standard ADSL service only works with the BT-supplied USB modem. It
may be possible to replace this with a suitable router, if you can find
the type BT use for their LAN accounts, but you'sd still need to
identify it to the system. When ADSL is installed there's a one-off
communication between the "modem" and system to identify you.
There is another alternative, or will be soon. A router with a
connection for a USB modem. You plug the modem into the router so your
setup is unchanged as far as BT are concerned.

A serial port is far too slow for ADSL.

If you've already got the modem, you only need to check whether it has a
USB or RJ45 connector. Who is the ADSL service provided by?
