Hi, John,
I don't know anything about the DSL box, sorry.
Systems on the local network shouldn't be affected by the webshuttle.
I've got the websuttle connected to an 8 port hub with my machine and my
wife's machine. I've only tested to see if I can share printers with my
wife running Win95 on both boxes. I haven't brought up samba on Linux
yet to see if it works, but I see no reason it won't. That'll be a good
test.
You might cork off a request to addonics support and see what they say.
Jim.
