http://www.cisco678.com/ They are in Anoka. Cisco 678 is EOS'ed and maybe EOL'ed by Cisco but they are rock solid reliable in my experience, and still generally available. I work for an ISP that sells Qwest DSL service so I have seen a lot of DSL routers. If you go with a Cisco make sure it is NOT a 675 as it will not work with the DMT DSL lines. The first one or two lines of Actiontec's that Qwest used were really crappy, a simple port scan would from the internet could lock them up. The latest line they are on now seem to be very reliable. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Eric F Crist Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 9:32 AM To: John Meier Cc: tclug Subject: Re: [tclug-list] DSL modem for grandma Those routers have a bad rap, but I've never had a problem with them on my network.
