[ale] pppoe router recommendations

[Klepinger, Aaron]

ClarkConnect works great for me.  Have had to stop and start CUPS service in
the past, but PPPoE is rock solid.  I also have used a Linksys BEFSR41
(version 1) since Jan. 2000.  I had some problems with the BEFSR41 locking
up and wanted more functionality, so switched to the ClarkConnect.  Haven't
had any problems since.

Never did get the ddclient working, but I know next to nothing about Linux.
I couldn't figure out the config file.  The comments were cryptic to me.
However, cron sends my IP every 2 minutes to ZoneEdit, though, which works
good enough.

Standard version (no VPN or content/virus filtering) is free.  Office costs
~$150

Subject: [ale] pppoe router recommendations


I used to have bellsouth DSL, using my linux firewall and pppoe.  I got 
it working though I have to admit it seemed a little odd.  But I had 
real reliability problems -  something would die somewhere, and 
eventually, the pppoe daemon would die.  And I'd restart it by hand.  
Eventually, I built a fairly ugly conglomeration of scripts to try to 
keep things running smoothly.

Now, thanks to DirectTV, I'm going to go back to Bellsouth for DSL 
service. I plan on buying an inexpensive router that will handle the 
pppoe crap for me.  (this will also give me a real DMZ, instead of a 
pretend one I have now).  The question is, what brand/model do you 
recommend?  I'd definately like something that works with ddclient, 
efficiently....
