Yes, but frog is BT's I think, so if I want to change ISP, I'll have to
return the frog.
If I buy 2600, I can change ISP with no additional cost for buying new
modem. Also, if I go for ethernet version of ADSL, when prices drop, I'll
still be able to use it, just without the modem, if I understood properly.
Cheers,
Nik

  You could always get the 2200 USB version, which uses the Frog and offers
  pretty much the same functionality as the 2600.
  The 2200 + frog is faster than PC + frog.  Dunno if this combo is
same/worse
  than the 2600 on it's own, though I suspect the latter :-)
  You could always drop Michael @ seg an email and ask if there's any point
  with the 2600 given that you have a frog already - he seems a pleasant
  enough chap and appears to be looking more for repeat business than
screwing
  as much as he can from a 1st time customer....

  HTH,


  Tony
