[SWLUG] Speedtouch DSL modem

[Paul G. Richardson]

Adam,

Just gone over to a router but was using a P166 Box, running Smoothwall 
with Speedtouch USB off the back of it with NIC card to connect to my 
internal network. Work like a charm and only rarely had problems when 
the "Bread Knife" decided that she was in too much of a hurry to 
shutdown Smoothwall properly so just pressed the power button instead. 
Still solved this by finding the offending lock file on the box and 
deleting it.

Regards

Paul
