Thanks, Sean. Fair enough question on wish list. I omitted 'cause I'm not even very sure what the "modern" e-mail clients will do. :) You or anyone's favorite features are most welcome info--what should I demand these days? Easy filtering/sorting to multiple folders is good. Light use of available resources also a big plus. So is easy attatchment launching. I have not picked a PIM client, but would like to try PIM. Sounds like one good reason for outlook (which is still free if you own office, right?) My wife uses groupwise at work, but they'll probably move to outlook eventually. Compatibility with either of these is a plus, since I'm sure I'll be helping her learn the capabilities of her system sooner or later. All thoughts welcome.

OK guys, I'm getting tired of my current ISDN TA. It is an internal Diamond Supra Netcommander, with quite a few limitations: discontinued by diamond quite a while back, virtually no support, last driver update was Jan 1997, won't work under SP4 and certainly not under upcoming Win2000, channel bonding under NT is not formerly supported (although sometimes do-able if everything is setup exact). I didn't pay much for it so I am now looking for an external router solution. I only have 1 IP address from my ISP unless I pay for more, and I would like to have 3 or 4 machines on my network have internet access without each having their own external IP address. What is this feature called? Will most external routers do this? Ebay has quite a number of units up for bid, Netgear RT238, Ascend Pipeline 50 or 75, Cisco 7500 or 8500 and Webramp. Any comments or opinions and what features should I look for? I haven't done much with external routers so any info would be appreciated. Thanks Dan
