Though it's not at all the best one around I have to say it does the job and a bit. Some of the features can be a pain to get working (ie. pptp in pppoe mode - can't figure it out). The documentation is not the best, but the guys from http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk will help you ouit. They also have a message board. The command line interface is quite powerful, but absolutely not userfriendly. All in all it's a cheap desent performer, that I am happy enough with. Got this one including a microfilter (not needed) for 140euro including shipping. Better than any deal from Eircom. -Tor -- Irish Linux Users' Group: ilug@linux.ie http://www.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/ilug for (un)subscription information. List maintainer: listmaster@linux.ie
