Re: the usb adsl modem question.
Thanks to all for comments, hardware offers and advice.
I forwarded the info to my client, who has decided to return the hapless usb adsl modem and purchase a Draytek Vigor 100, so I'll be battling with that after Christmas.
Thanks,
Jenny
If you were looking for a device to act only as a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge, without any routing or firewall functionality, you shouldn't have any problems. I have a linux-based wi-fi router behind it and it acts great at the max 8,218 kbps from my provider ... in fact, you shouldn't even need to go into the web interface - it should come configured to work with UK ISPs out of the box, so just cable it up and any PPPoE capable device should have no trouble with it.
