For Dial-Up users, 3Com makes a 56k "LAN Modem." It sits on an ethernet connection (in fact, it also contains a 4-port ethernet hub). It does the same thing as the Lynksys router, and it contains the modem right in it. The advantage is that if you have multiple computers, they can all access the internet through the single ISP connection. Of course, you still only have the throughput of a 56k modem, but you have the protection of the DHCP and NAT functions. - JimX
