Wh= at=20 I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial=20 capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem. Am I correct? If so, I think there was a mix-up in the terminology. =2D --=20 Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/fJgVWxy3JtXvWloRAuKHAKCI3fInB+fo6aGdeTOppKyOUpC8hQCcD1AB petbxA0I5hJRiDSJZCH1Qr0=3D =3DZ8Hw =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
