Hi Steve,

As long as you don't have a future need to use a PPTP or IPSec client (ie
from LAN to Internet) or server (internet to LAN), the ASUS is a great
little router that should do everything you need. The newer versions of
firmware seem to be ok. Web & FTP pinholing works well.

Cheers,
Nik

> Im interested in buying this adsl modem/router, but after reading this
list for a wee while, I am just a bit nervous to buy one when hearing about
all the problems with the different versions of its flash memory.

computer running as a small ftp server which i will be using for my studies.
This computer will be running windows 2000 or windows 98 depending on the os
i need to use at the time. I would also like to be able to use it as a
small webserver holding just a few pages of information.

plug it straight into the router and have access to the internet - no fuss
and troubles each day trying to set it up. This laptop runs windows 2000.

naughty people doing naughty people things to my computers.

> Is this all possible with the ASUS AAM-6000EV? I origenally wanted to go
for the ni500 until i read all your comments about it and figured it wouldnt
suit my needs by not allowing me to setup a ftp server.

> From what i have read the asus will suit my needs best over the dual link
3com (as they are supposedly pulling out of the modem business therefor no
support in the future), and the high end nokias which are getting way to
pricey for me. $500 is already stretching my poor uni student/supermarket
slave - err worker budget for the modem.

> Have you guys got any comments that might help me with my final decision?
I would greatly appreciate them! Any thing i have over looked? =]
