Re: [LUG] Broadband

["Neil Stone" <Neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally I have used a conexant modem/router/bridge/makestea which has a  
built in 4 port switch. I can categorically say that I never had a sime  
problem with it that wasn;t my own mistake (wrong passwords etc)

You may also want to look at Draytek Vigor ADSL modems... we have a nice  
shiny one in the office that has the ability to do LOADS of stuff such as;

a USB port to act as a print server
QoS
VPN
4 port Switch
built in Firewall

admitedly not everyone is going to want those options.. but it's there  
just in case.
