I tried KX-HGW200. It works fine for Web browsing but If you leave a
TCP
connection idle for about 20 minutes or so then it gets disconnected.
This
is really a bummer if you use it to connect to office for telnet or
ssh or
x-windows connection. I have not tried the wireless port but I have
tried
both the ethernet and phone net connections and they seem to work
except for
the tcp timinig out problem I mentioned above. I find the phone line
network
really useful.I hope panasonic will fix the TCP timing out bug in the
next version of the firmware.

PROS: inexpensive ($100). Has ethernet, phonenet and wireless gateway
functions.
      downloadable firmware, nice statistics and configuration
functions.
      easy to setup. Works like charm for web browsing.

CONS: TCP connection gets disconnected after idling for about 20
minutes.
      So Telnet , ssh and other tcp functions will fail if let idling
for a while
