Not familiar with specific types, but I've had best results with the routers from Zyxel. The one I used to use (ADSL) would provide a lot of information via SNMP and other logging-options. Also, this one had no problem with multiple (1000+) simultaneous connections. Which is something other brands suffer from regularly. > ps - I'm not interested in running an old linux or openbsd, machine as > router.

I've since stopped using pre-made routers as I had the machine running anyway as a home-server and moving the router/firewall/... onto the server wasn't too much of a change and did mean I could switch off a small device. -- Joost
