I really appreciate it. Everybody's been very helpful with this. Although OT, I sure hope some will find the DSL threads useful. I'm still deciding on a brand, mainly because of the LinkSys wireless ethernet bridge. If if can communicate freely with other more mac-friendly router brands, I would like to go with one of them. From what I can gather LinkSys is not as Mac oriented as others such as Asante. Thanks again, Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
