I'd totally forgotten about those. Morgan don't sell them any more, they're
available elsewhere for very reasonable amounts, and they have excellent
reputations (although they don't have the no-nonsense blue metal cases of the
Netgear).

(I'm also impressed with the Linksys website, which at the bottom of the
publicity blurb has a neat little 'open source' logo with a brief summary of
the source-availability terms of the GPL on it.)

What is SpeedBooster and RangeBooster, and do I care? And is there any
functional difference between the VxWorks-based G and the Linux-based GL?
