Thanks to those wamuggers who provided pointers - am now up and running
with a Netgear FVS318 Router/Firewall running Panther on a network of 3
macs and 2 ethernet printers.
Whirlpool was not quite up to date as the Netgear routers they
recommend are no longer available. But a very helpful bod at Fulton in
Sydney www.fulton.net.au/ pointed me to the FVS318 which cost $286 and
which also has VPN capabilities thrown in.
But the main thing is that it has the built-in BigPond client and I
just connected up, entered my login details and away we went and
haven't missed a beat.
It seems to me that a lot of the angst about BigPond cable on macs
could be just ancient history. I really couldn't have found it more
straightforward.
