IME Speedtouch 330s work Just Fine under Ubuntu after following the docs on the Ubuntu wiki. I agree that a router makes more sense, but sometimes you've just got to go with the kit you've got, especially if you're on a budget. If you *can* spare the cash tho, I'd recommend a Zyxel 660R Compact - they're about 20-25 quid, single Ethernet presentation, plug that into your PC or LAN switch and you're sorted. They're nails. And Gordon, why not throw away your PDP? It's shit, seriously. :) -- _ __/| William Anderson | Tim: Your cheese game is strong. \`O_o' neuro at well dot com | Zane: My cheese game.
