befrsr41 (4 port)
firm ware version 1.37, Jan 03 2001 addressed some ppoe problems.
mine is on 24/7 to swbell dsl.
three computers with simultaneous access zero problems
one related problem i did have was an access stabilty DSL problem.
the advertised speed of 1.5mb was constantly degrading as the connection was
always trying to maintian that connection speed.
the solution was to cap the speed at 384kb. which is plenty for me.
no more problems
