Although AIUI Onno is /not/ using the D-Link DSL-300 but instead a
satellite modem of some description.

On the other hand: if I had to guess, Iinet might just be discouraging
people from having machines on the 192.168.0. subnet so that they don't
have to deal with the resulting mess that people might make if they set
it up incorrectly.  (Although by that reasoning perhaps people should be
discouraged from using the Internet at all, on account of all the
problems it can cause, e.g. spending all day typing messages to a bloody
mailing list. *grin*)

I also note that Iinet's web page doesn't say "don't do this", it says
"consult with a network consultant" (and probably implicitly: we can
provide you with one of those, for a small additional fee.....)
