option may be use the existing virgin modem (they used to supply that)<br>coupled with a
switch and access point or a good quality cable router<br>and firewall (may be netgear?) with a dlink access point or something.<br>Draytek is good kit for home / small business use.<br><br>Stephen<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>
