I finally got my set (BEFSR41, 4 ports) on Easter day, it cost me S$270 (~USD150). : ) It's really working fine except I've a small problem on connecting the pppoe cause I switch on both the ADSL model and the Linksys router at the same time (connect to the same power point) and the pppoe unable to deal after the diagnostic state at time? but if I reset the router later or switch on the modem first, it's fine. I will recommend the router as well, it save me lots of time for other purpose, thanks for all who recommended this toy. : ) Dennis/sg
It's not so fortunate here in Singapore, all the limited/unlimited ADSL (except ATM service, I have one also for home, but only 30 hrs free per month) are DHCP and including cable. The ATM ADSL is unable to work under Linux although I've tried for more than a year, giving up soon.
I am also thinking on getting one of the Linksys router, instead of using an old P133 to do the job (save some electricity, save the earth, I guess)?
Is the Linksys router okay for home use? it cost about S$300 (about USD170) here, the 4 ports model.

I've got one of those Linksys router. I have the single port one and that feeds into my hub. I must say that that thing is sweet. Not a problem with it and its been handling all my PPPoE based traffic without any problem. I highly recommend that router to anyone especially for home use.
