[MLB-WIRELESS] Cable/DSL routers

[tparker at netspace.net.au]

Folks,

The best place for this kind of info is the discussion groups on
www.whirlpool.net.au - a lot of people seem to be using a Billion modem because
they are cheap.  I'm using an Alcatel Speed Touch, it is ok, but I wouldn't
recommend it because I find it tends to reboot randomly when trying to save
config params and is generally hard to configure.

Cheers,
Tom
