[ale] Any experience w/D-Link wired DSL routers?

[Robert Coggins]

I am running a D-Link wireless / 4 port router.  I love it.  I haven't
had any real problems with it other than I have not been able to get WEP
to work yet.  But, from what I understand it is a pain to get linux and
wep working.  I haven't tried it with winodws yet.  It has DHCP a
firewall virtual servers and a lot more.
