Nope, I have not had any problems with Verizon either, but do watch out for not being set up correctly at first. In our new house, when we transfered the account, we had such a crummy setup that it was like sipping through a straw. I use a linux router with no problems. Verizon just needs to be setup so that you can connect to their DHCP server and be dealt an IP address. And then you need to point each machine to their DNS. Their CD is just for dummies, and people that want to be configured to only use IE and their page as home. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
