Slightly off the point but as far as I'm aware static IPs are not
available on Jetstart. You'd need to go with full Jetstream

Greetings

Can anyone help me decide which modem I should get. I don't have an
ADSL
line yet, but I think it's time I upgraded from my 56k modem. I intend

moving to Jetstart but I'm hesitating at the cost of DSL modems. I'm
looking at the Nokia range and in particular the Ni500 and the N1122.

It seems a lot of people have bought the N1122 even though it costs
twice as much as the Ni500. There has to be a good reason for this,
even though in my inexperience I cannot see what the N1122 does that
the
Ni500 doesn't.

Can you tell me whether the cheaper Ni500 would do what I want?

I have a small home LAN of four (soon to be five) Macintosh computers.

I already have a router to connect them - Xsense XRouter M1H-130A.
This
has enough ports for my LAN with a10Base-T port for a modem. The
router
takes care of DHCP and suppoerts PPPoE.

The main objective in getting the DSL connection is to allow more than

one computer to be on the net at once. A secondary objective is to
allow at least one of the home computers to be run a web server
accessible from the Internet. My belief is that I just need to ask
Telecom for a fixed IP address (extra $29 month?) and do some
configuration on the router. I don't know much about IP masquerading
or
pinholing yet, but this seems possible.

Can the Ni500 do this, or do I need the N1122? Maybe having the router

removes the need for the extra capabilities of the N1122?

Thanks for reading so far.
