The ADSL is Dead, Long Live the ADSL Router

My ancient but previously reliable USR Sureconnect 9003 died on me after 5-7 years of service (I forget) and was replaced by a Netgear DG834G v3.

I was pleasantly surprised how trivial the configuring of ADSL was, although the combined Firewall and Wireless function was a teeny weenie bit fiddly until I engaged my mind (which doesn't happen much nowadays).

I just wonder how long will it last?

Note to self: always add minicom after a Linux install, just in case.
