[HLUG] Broadband connection

[box lawrence]

i am just about to put one up on ebay.

a draytek vigor 2600w.

it is a very nice and reliable piece of kit (used to
belong to this very andrew hodgeson)

it has a very useful feature of being able to update
dyndns with your current ip (if you do not have a
static address and wish to host a site)

configuration is very easy.

it is wireless b 11Mbs
four cat5 connections and will support four wireless
connections too i think.

and also has the added capability of working on an
isdn line.

 to view

any sensible offer will be fine.
