Ah, that means that this particular "one" is the linksys blue box you 
mentioned the other week then Geoff?

I seem to recall when you said about moving down to Bristol - University

Well, baring in mind both Geoff and Matthews comments, that gives that 
particular device a thumbs up. I'm not going to go leaping in straight 
away, I'd like to look into the hardware etc a little more, certainly 
checking out any offerings from Solwise, because this wired modem/router 
I'm currently using has been solid as a rock, I'd be saddened to see it 
go it's been that reliable as well as Solwise having given me excellent 
support (phone) on the couple of occassions that i've needed it.

Plus, I could do worse than also checking out any suggestion from the 
adslguide <http://www.adslguide.org.uk/> as that was where I got the 
suggestion for the Solwise device in the first place - they seem to have 
a good handle on this type of kit.

Again, many thanks for the replies.

regards

John D.
