I know there were a couple of reports of people who said they got the wrong kind of modem (CAP/DMT) and thus their DSL didn't work right off the bat. With the Cisco 678 (and I imagine the 675 too) you can configure that yourself. You don't even need to resort to windows, just need a copy of tftp (trivial ftp). http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/dsl_prod/c600s/c678/678rn.htm#xtocid17553 Just trying to prevent a little grey hair. -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
