Both Cisco, the 675 is external and comes with an ethernet card for your machine and a crossover ethernet cable. It's currently configured for bridge mode (PPP in the spring) and you get addresses via dhcp. In ppp mode the 675 has a dhcp server. The other is the 605, it is an internal PCI card. The only driver is for Windows, although Apple is interested in making a driver. I have both (I'm doing support here, or starting to), I prefer the 675, since it can be used for multiple machines and OSes. Also, the 605 is ONLY available buying it pre-installed directly from Dell. -- What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel.
