The company I work for has 36 stores around the state. We are looking
at getting DSL in the ones we can, and if at all possible iProvo,
Utopia, or other high speed options if they are available. What I am
looking to do, is get a standard router that I can use for all
connections. But here's the catch, I would like to use the same item
for the DSL Modems as well. I remember reading a few weeks about about
Netgear having such a product, but can not longer find that
information. Does any one know if there are other products that will
double as a router and/or DSL modem? What would be best for this type
of set up? Any ideas?
Thanks

Cisco 800 series modems work great. Even the 677 or 678s still work great and
are super cheap from eBay.
I don't like the Actiontec modems because (a) they've historically been not
as dependable as Cisco, (b) they require a clunky web interface for
configuration.
Cisco 67x or 8xx will provide a web interface, but also a serial interface
(for onsite configuration) and a telnet and/or SSH interface (for remote
configuration).
Now, trivia: The Cisco 67x wasn't made by Cisco. They were made by NetSpeed,
which was purchased by Cisco. They're not quite Cisco-quality, but I still
use them a lot. Kind of like Linksys wifi equipment vs Cisco wifi equipment.
