Shavua Tov! This may not be in the spirit of Linux-IL, but I was able to solve a lot of DSL annoyances by moving our small office to a Cisco 800-series ADSL+WiFi (provided as part of their BizNet service). The router performs rock-solid with uptime measure in years (assuming you never update it...) and routing works exactly as you'd expect, no-nonsense. If you don't have someone on-site with Cisco experience, Bezeq will manage it for you as part of the BizNet service (which also has faster upload-speed options than otherwise available). I'm not saying that this is an equivalent solution to DD-WRT (especially as concerning "Free as in Beer/Speech"), but if you have a client experiencing networking issues, as one professional to another, this may be a possible solution.
Please don't throw any open-source tomatoes. -Mike On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 1:09 AM, E.S. Rosenberg <[email protected]>wrote: > What do you mean by in-progress support?
