Re: [PLUG] Re: DSL she no go...

That sounds reasonable... baby steps..
There are several COTS routers out there that can route a real subnet.. The
NetGear ProSafe series is among them. Outside of that, you could always have
a little linux box doing the job. That'll give you the greatest flexibility,
of course. I picked up a little mini-ITX/Via-C3 machine from caseoutlet.com
and have it running my firewall and printserver. It doesn't cost a whole lot
more to run every month than a small COTS router - I think it's about 20W
alltogether.
Did you tell Craig I sent you? If not, please do =)

ps. What does your shack look like? I had a Kenwood 850 and a 690 for the
longest time, but took my shack down last year because I didn't have time
nor space for HF (no room for an antenna that big)... so now I'm just on
VHF/UHF with my HT..
