[ale] OT: BellSouth Fast Access DSL

[lance crocker]

I currently use BellsouthDSl on my network at home. I was to cheap to go out
and buy a brand name router, so I built my own.

It seems to be running fine and I stay on the net 24/7. I have RH80
configured to run on a LAN, which was not very hard. On the same network I
have a small win98se machine, which I don't use very often. They both seem
to surf the net fine and I didn't even have to contact Bellsouth about it.

I have been using a SOHOware NBG800 combo firewall/router for maybe
nine months now and have had no severe problems -- hooked to mindspring/
earthlink. Went with this model because the salesman told me it was
a bit more reliable when linking PCs and Macs, and the home network
has one of each. Don't know if that is true, just know it was simple
to set up and run. Same price as the comparable Linksys model.
