Any of the gurus here, care to comment or enlighten, as I don't know anything about it .....  |
Qasi puills these things to pieces and knows what he's saying - even if he keeps it short!
To expand on that, in modem mode, the SH's router section is collapsed so that data is routed to a single switch port. That is the maximum extent to which the SH firmware is used in modem mode. Hence its utter reliability and the only thing about that wretched device for which VM can take credit.
