Early March we will be getting it from Pacific Internet. They seem like a
reasonable mob to deal with.

I will have, very soon. In our case the modem is a separate device with
ADSL at one end and Ethernet at the other just like a cable modem. I
suspect this will be better than having some sort of internal ADSL card.
Although my experience with internal modems problably clouds this
judgement.

If we had of been able to wait until April we would have been able to get
a new ADSL modem that can do NAT and firewall rules itself which would
have been neat. Oh well.

Cheers,

Raymond
