Re: DSL router recommendation
Hi Eric, What I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem. I was talking about a broadband *router* indeed. One WAN ethernet interface, 1-4 LAN ethernet interface(s). Which indeed connects to a DSL *modem*. (I wasn't asking BTW, I happen to have a few of these lying around. ;-) Am I correct? If so, I think there was a mix-up in the terminology. I believe there was, then. Thank $DEITY we're not on a "Who shall we nuke next?" list...

What I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem. Am I correct? If so, I think there was a mix-up in the terminology. - -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/fJgVWxy3JtXvWloRAuKHAKCI3fInB+fo6aGdeTOppKyOUpC8hQCcD1AB petbxA0I5hJRiDSJZCH1Qr0= =Z8Hw -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Only your ISP knows for sure. Some ISPs use CAP and some use DMT, and certain routers may do only one or the other. -- Kirk Strauser "94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports.

Re: DSL router recommendation
Hi, 1) Why do you need a 100 MB interface? The fastest DSL I've seen only operates at 7MB, in simplex mode. 100Mbit on the internal network is nice. Most SOHO routers today come with a built-in switch. 2) What do you mean by 'DSL router with telephone'? A router with a ISDN interface for fallback connectivity? Draytek makes the Vigor series routers. I've used their 2000, 2200E, 2200X and 2300 models and they all perform well and are easy to configure. Nowadays, cheaper routers are to be had, but these often lack in configurability and features. AFAIK, from the 2200 models and up, at least 8 concurrent VPN connections can be used. The firewall configuration smells like IPF to me. ;-) In other words: I like 'em...

The fastest DSL I've seen only operates at 7MB, in simplex mode. 2) What do you mean by 'DSL router with telephone'? - -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/fIOGWxy3JtXvWloRAtx1AJ9toDcaeoRtEkaDCLULMAZPaqfIbwCdE0Gh QMb+DQrH4K1DNbPyIMSprZU= =7nZF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
