So, just looking at the menus:
you get to chose 802.1q or 'port-based' VLAN's. They seem to be
mutually exclusive. I chose 802.1q.
You can number and name VLAN's. The range is 1-409

You are correct, Bill. I only buy WRT54GLs, which are still available
widely on the net for about $50-$60.
Thanks for the heads-up on the GS108T. I might be in the market.

Just to clarify, it sounds like you have a completely opposite opinion
of WRT54GL's. I'd second your opinion of that particular model. It's
always been particularly robust, but recall that we hav

Woot! often has refurb Sansas at good prices.

Arc,
Thanks a lot! This is far more feature-rich than any of the devices I
was looking at.
I would have said "inexpensive" but that would imply that their gear
actually delivered value. I have a client who chose to use a pair of
BEFSX41 VPN end point 4 port routers. A few years back I got a call from
them to help them set up a VPN tunnel between two sites. After an hour
