On the subject of ADSL hubs. 
Can anyone tell me if any (or which) of the hups out there support tunneling

a VPN connection (allow a VPN connection operate through the hub
- for example my ISDN buffalo 4 port hub does NOT). 

I also be most interested in a hub that allowed more then 1 VPN 
connection similtaniously (so both me and the missus could 
connect to work VPN over our Broadband at the same time). - is this
possible. 

Also can this goal be achieved by using a Linux router with ADSL modem 
attached to it. 

It may be significant to note that AFAIK one of the corporate VPNs 
is running off a linux server while the other is either an MS solution 
or possibly hardware (not sure). 

Is the IOLBB provided modem only going to work as USB ?

Thanks for any insights you folks can provide ?

(I need a linux based router then my next question will be how - and would
this be better anyway ?)

Thanks
