What he said!
My 256 resides in the bottom of an ickle 'comm's rack' passing bits to, and receiving bits from, my firewall; disallowing me public R-O access via SNMP and warming up the cupboard. So as long as it keeps doing that I don't much care for how curvaceous, glossy or cool it looks while doing so.
And modems with build in routers, ewwwww. How hard can it be to plug in a dedicated routing device into a dedicated 'modeming' device?
