Denis, you don't by chance use the Linux operating system at all do you? Linux
can be convinced to do pretty amzing things with a 3Com DualLink Home Conect
DSL modem.

Otherwise, would you prehaps consider a dedicated cheapo PC running Windoze,
WinRoute and using an internal PCI DSL modem (like the extremely cheap Nokia
Ni200)? Packets could then be 'dumb-routed' to your XRouter to make use of its
built in security and NAT features.

Just a thought - but then by looking at your e-mail address my guess is you use
Apple hardware. Nice choice - but hard to make DSL solutions work cheaply :(

Rgds,
Pete
