> Hi, > > I'm switching from cable to ADSL in a month and I was wondering what (kind of) modem I should best go for. Would it best be one that connects to a NIC or to USB. I'm now using a (console) NAT & proxy server, with which I should be certain it works. For this, I would like to have some possibility to automatically dial at boot time (or if the modem takes care of that, even better). I am usig a Draytek modem for more than a year without a problem. It was quite cheap. It has for Ethernet network ports and the set-up is done through web interface. The firmware can be (and was, in my case) updated (not that there was a problem with the old one). The modem can do VPN, NAT, port forwarding and more... Hope this helps... Vladimir PS: I am in the UK on Pipex internet provider...
