[ILUG] Adsl modem/router recommendations

[Satelle, StevenX]

My thinking would be you have a linux box setup as your router. You don't
need anything else. Just swap whatever you where using on it for web
connections for the dsl line

Subject: [ILUG] Adsl modem/router recommendations


Hi - we're probably going to get the eircom uncapped service into the 
office here but yesterday i got eircoms quotes for the routers they were 
offering. The prices were way over the top and the router they were 
offering was complete overkill for us anyway. We currently have a linux 
firewall/nat box through which all our traffic goes so i dont need any 
of their firewalling or nat or any other advanced features.

What i'm looking for is recommendations for an adsl modem (or possibly a 
*very* simple router) that's easy to set up and is known to work well 
with both linux and eircoms service. I just need it to physically 
connect to one machine and provide connectivity for that machine - the 
linux box will do the rest. The linux box is just a pc running suse 8.0 
(default kernel). Atm it's got two network cards and i've just checked 
and it does have a usb port.

any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks

John
