:Whatever Vonage ATA you use, it needs to be behind the Tomato/MLPPP router.
Interesting. That's the kind of info I'm after. Right now the the Vonage is between the modem and our Wireless Router.
The TD-8816 is more of a modem than a router. It only offers one LAN (outgoing Ethernet) port. All it needs is to be placed in bridge mode and you can do that through a wizard.
Okay, I'll buy that. Let me know if there is a reason why a Speedstream is better, other than division of duties, because I haven't come across an actual reason yet, such as build quality, etc.
I am fine with replacing the SMC with the Linksys WRT54GL to be able to load the firmware on it, though I don't know how to do that yet.
It's not that bad loading new firmware. I would get going on the router upgrade now in case you need help from us.
I came across a Linksys WRT54GS for sale locally that has been refurbished ($32!) but it seems to be a version 7.2 with a serial # of CGNE1HA35441, which I read means that it won't run Linux or the Tomato firmware. Anyone know more about this?
I wonder if it is easy to find an old version 1 to 4 of a SRT54L.
We use Macs and I would like to be able to use "Back to My Mac" to tunnel home from the road, which should be possible if UPnP works.
Are you married to MobileMe? LogMeIn Free (harder to find on their site) is a great
free alternative that works perfectly on the Mac.
I'll look into LogMeIn, but the MobileMe keeps on doing just enough to make me want to renew it each year. Now it will find my iPhone if I lose it, and keep my calendars, bookmarks and huge rolodex updated seemlessly between the phone and all the computers.
