Re: [edlug] looking for a cable router, any ideas.

["Bob Kerr" <robertnkerr@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

           I have been using the BEFSR41 from linksys for about 2 years 
now, I am presently using it with the blueyonder 1 MB service and have had 
no problems, It is easy to set up and has only needed an ocasional firmware 
upgrade. You need to set the mac address on it but apart from that and 
changing the password you will be ready to go, It also contains a 10/100 
switch but only 4 ports. It has also been around a long time so there are a 
lot of people to help. Thats my recommendation, I will be interested to see 
what other people are using.

cheers
