Probably any store that sells PS2 consoles when the kit is released. No date has been set for a launch yet though.

Where do I buy the PS2 kit from, and no I am not a tester but I am getting the PS2 online for my 16 birthday on May 19.
We get broadband installed on the 6th May but recieve the adapter and stuff in 4 days, so we get it on the 29th or so.

Or a crossover cable, it all depends on whether he chooses ICS or a router as his preferred setup option.
My advice is read the Network Gaming Guides at uk.playstation.com
EVERYTHING you need to know about getting connected is there, you've just got to bother to read it.
Just one more thing to add to the list. :)
If it's a USB modem then you can't use it directly with the PS2 and will need a network card in your PC to share the connection (cheap) or a router (expensive). Or you could just buy an ethernet modem.
If it's an ethernet modem you get with BB then you don't need anything except the PS2 kit.
