Any recommendations? Draytek 2830 (about £140+VAT) seems to be popular, although you need a 3G USB dongle as well.
I'm going to be installing a small Linux box (see, almost on topic really!) at a remote site; it's job will be to collect data and send it to us via ADSL or (if ADSL unavailable) via 3G; VPN access required to allow us to reliably get back into the unit remotely if we need to.
Not going to see all that much data traffic and never more than 1 or 2 people connected via VPN (usually nobody), so the Draytek may be overkill.
Solwise have a couple of possibles, or maybe not, you're after an ADSL router with 3G backup are you? I think that may well almost lock you into Draytek for anything at a sane price. I know I spent a very long time looking for a router that would handle failover (in my case from one ADSL connection to another) and I've ended up with a Draytek 2820n.
