Re: DSL Modem Recommendation

The Actiontec would not be on my short list. Too flakey in my experience and the UI is horrible.

Stablility is a requirement. So are the standard feature sets. Beyond that, the most useful feature for most people would probably be support for UPnP. If you're going to use a NAT router on your DSL connection (and most Qwest.net users are), then UPnP support promises to help people out of the NAT-port mess (which most people don't have the knowledge or inclination to deal with). For those who want to eliminate NAT on the router, support for DHCP spoofing or PPTP relay would be a nice feature.

I'd look at the Thomson modems, i.e. the 530 or the 510v4. Or the Efficient Networks models (5600, etc.) or even the Zoom X5.
