ISTR that mine crashed very easily if the USB power fluctuated. If you're going to use it off of a laptop or certain desktop systems, it probably best to connect it through a powered USB hub. There are also more fun things than trying to get pppoa working and firmware uploads are irritatingly slow when you just lost network ;-) Best wishes, -- MJ Ray http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html tel:+44-844-4437-237 - Webmaster-developer, statistician, sysadmin, online shop builder, consumer and workers co-operative member http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ - Writing on koha, debian, sat TV, Kewstoke http://mjr.towers.org.uk/
