Mike, Talked to Tech support. Knowledgeable fellow. "router" functionality has been completed. Sometime within the next month or so. He said he gets 15 to 20 calls a day about setting up home networks. The demand is there! He said it would be setup for up to 12 separate connections (he thoughth). Does anyone know if there are other modems out with "router capabilities." I have an Alcatel router at my office (Cayman is the brand name) which cost $799. At $279, the Westell modem would be the most cost-effective solution by a LONG shot. best to all WSTL longs and later, leroyt

MikeM54321, re: the cutting edge. In some ways it's kind of sad because DSL is cutting edge deployment today, BUT it's been around for a decade. Kind of an unusual situation in tech world. I can think of one thing that's a lot sadder: ISDN. That technology was "ready" for about a decade (unused capabilities sitting idle in many a #5ESS) before it finally saw limited deployment. Europe was way ahead of the USA with ISDN, but fortunately now they are migrating to a better solution: ADSL. Regards, Gary
