[plug] ADSL modem/router

[Kai]

G'day Richard,

D-Link sell the DSL-500 and DSL-504 which might interest you.
The 500 is a DSL router, the 504 is a DSL router with built in 4 port 
switch.

Check it out here:
http://www.dlink.com.au/products/broadband/dsl500/
http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/dsl500/SpecsTable.htm
and here:
http://www.dlink.com.au/products/broadband/dsl504/
http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/dsl504/SpecsTable.htm

The DSL-300 is also available but that is an ethernet modem and not a 
router but it might do the trick ?

Price wise ? I think the 500 sells for around $400 RRP but don't quote 
me on that. Ben Jensz'll prolly be able to give you an idea on that 
since he's up on the prices much more than I am and he ownes a 500 
already (or did you buy a 504 ? I can't remember) :)

AFAIK Alcatel also have DSL router and ether-modems available but I 
haven't worried about checking them out.

HTH

Kai
