I Wish!!! BT are going to get ADSL to us Sometime in 2020 at this rate!

Not to worry though, Oftel will have the local loop unbundled by
2015.... :(

please.

hehe.

I use Winroute, a product that is now distributed by tinysoftware.com.
It's great, allows incredible flexibility, and performs fairly well in
the security world. It has a packet filtering firewall built in (old
tech, but fine for a home setup)

did I mention setting custom time-windows, and using a different
dial-up interface for each one? or being able to have a backup
interface (so you could set up your modem as a failover for your ADSL
if the line went down?
