I was a little harsh in my earlier post but the main reason I was is because
of the Asante... You see my friend accidently reset his router IP address to
all zeros. Now with a manuel reset switch all is fine, just hit the button
and boom its default . With a way to telenet in your fine, more difficult
for nubies but still possible with a tech support call... But he had to send
it back and and pay shipping.. He recived a new model with a serial com
port.. Wonder why they put that in? (see telenet)

BTW the 1.38 and up firmwares solved ALL of my linksys issues under Win2k
and 98, on my PPPoE DSL connect  pertaining to the inablity to run servers
and random server drops from some applications because of an "illegal
packet". In this day and age you must realize that most software and
hardware is in a state of constant beta. Would you buy a computer product
that was not software upgradeable?

I was pissed at Linksys but they have fixed my issues and thats all I can
ask for from an $80 router.
