All hardware is universal. Apart from actually playing games (PAL and NTSC variations) keyboards, modems, joypads, memory cards etc work on any console. At least all of the stuff I have imported.
Reaver. I know your setup exactly, I helped someone from the Nintendo boards do what you have. And I use NTL internet, but its through my TV set top box instead. But you have to make sure you have the right cable. Little did I realise, after I told him to do everything, he was using the wrong cable -.-;. I forget which cable I am using now (ethernet normal or ethernet x-over) but you need the opposite. I think if you connect the GC straight to the modem you use a normal ethernet cable. If conencting to a hub/router, or network card, you use a x-over cable.
Whenever I was switching cables, it took 10 minutes to get it working. I gave up in the end and just installed a network card for only £10 more. Much easier and better, trust me.
