I am thinking of getting hooked up with an ADSL connection in my area, can
anybody tell me how this works with GPL and how well it works with GPL and if
there are any "gotchas" I should be worried about?

The only real "gotcha" will depend on your ISP. Check with them to see
what their transfer rate is. Some ISP's are capping the upload to only
a mere 56k. If this is the case, you will be limited to the number of
clients you can host via ADSL. I am not aware of any ISP that will
guarantee a specific upload and download transfer rate. I am lucky, and
my ISP is currently providing about 276k down and 266k up.

My ISP (BellSouth.net) provides 256k upload and 1.5Mbps (rated) download. I
typically see 1.2Mbps download.
No problems at all with GPL. I regularly host 12-15 drivers, with some
reporting the best latency figures they've ever seen. Well worth my US$49.95
/ month.
