I got one of the CA64Es (4 port version) the other day and I've not managed
to get my ADSL connection working yet.  I think it is probably the line
rather than anything else as I've tried plugging the router directly into
the bt master box (without the front plate) with several different cables
with no luck.  The diagnostics page on the router usually fails the "ADSL
Connection Test" test which is before the ATM and PPPoATM tests so I suspect
its the line.  I've ended up calling my ISP who will escallate this to BT
but I wondered if anyone else had similar problems with ADSL?

As for the router itself it has a bridge mode which will pass through the
raw ethernet traffic as well as being able to route non-NATd subnets.

They delivered mine fine, not had a bad experience with them.
