Well ... their latest offerings I could test were extremely windows-centric and did not work to my satisfaction.

It's an external ethernet-based thingy, belgian produce (so it might not be fully standards compliant) for an analog+DSL connection (not ISDN) I tend to keep away from those DSL-over-USB-over-SATA-over-WLAN things. It's unneeded complexity that tends to make these things really hard to use. Note that I'm not saying that AVM produces cr*p. I'm only saying that their old ISDN products were really good and their new stuff has been rather frustrating for me.
