Re: TDS...
I first ran with the supplied actiontec modem only for a couple of weeks with no issues. I now have my own router (smoothwall box) behind the tds modem because I like its easier firewall rule input, squid, and usage graphs per client -- I set the actiontec modem to transparent bridged. I also have had zero drops and no glitches at all and no dns errors with the smoothwall box set to pickup dns servers via dhcp from TDS. (I did run my own dns server with treewalk and use opendns on a previous satellite system, so I don't doubt your advice if the dns server that serves you is having issues) Also don't mean to be a TDS-fanboy, but my TDS service has been perfect so far for the last two months. Being on satellite for so many years, I expected some glitches here and there, maintenance windows, etc., but so far I have had zero downtime with TDS which has been quite nice in this remote location!
