[plug] ADSL modem/router

[Kai]

Not AFAIK, there's only four ports on the back of the 500.
RJ-12 for the phone line (or is it RJ-11 ?), RJ-45 for the UTP, DB-9 
(I'm told it's for console use to initialise the router but I can't be 
sure since I've never had the time to properley play with a 500) and a 
power socket.

If you wanna buy the 500 for use on a network you'll need a hub unless 
you're using a back to back connection.

The 504 has 4 built in switched ports if you want an all-in-one ?

I'm sure someone'll correct me if I'm wrong :P
