I have one of these - it's a D-Link 300t. I use it with a linksys WRT54G
with public firmware from Sveasoft. It works a treat and _may_ do what
you need, Andy.

I have a very early ATM DSL router from Lucent - a Lucent CellPipe
(can't remember the model off the top of my head). It will most probably
do what you need, if only you can configure it. I gave up in the end -
it has the most arcane configuration method of any networking gear I
have ever come across. I managed to get it doing NAT (it doesn't by
default) but couldn't get to grips setting the firewall using what
looked to me like a tcp/ip binary mask. A bit too high end for me. If
you fancy giving it a go you are more than welcome to.

Good luck,
Neil.
