What ISP-grade router are you using that is plug-and-play? So far, all the ones I've used have required some quite considerable configuration and testing to verify they do everything I need, and that's *after* I've spent a long time reading lies^Wfine marketing documentation trying to decide which combination of features best suits my needs, and then trying to guess what other features my business might need during the service lifetime of the device. - Matt -- I can only guess that the designer of the things had a major Toilet Duck habit and had managed to score a couple of industrial-sized bottles of the stuff the night before. -- Tanuki
