I'll put in a plug for the various router reviews that my employer publishes: http://reviews.cnet.com/Networking/4502-3319_7-0.html If your friend has plans on using the router to also connect to a company network (ie., a VPN or Virtual Private Network) you should check with the IT department for that company. Some of the older and less expensive routers can have problems handling various VPN protocols, like IPsec. I had to replace my router last year for that very reason, because my employer switched to an IPsec solution that wasn't supported by the cheap little router I had. --- Rex.

They were told that they would need to get a router and they are asking me for help. They found two on the internet, Asante FR1004 4 port router and a D-Link DL-604 4 port router. Does anyone have any experience with either of these and a Mac? Or any other suggestions? -- Thanks, Beth Fastline Publications Inc.
