Re: [LUG] Surplus ADSL router/modem? Please

Anyone going to the E-Space workshop in Exeter next Saturday? I'm on the lookout for a cheap/free ADSL router or modem for my parents, preferably one that can be flashed with FLOSS firmware (or already has been). They only have the one laptop to connect, so they don't need a built-in ethernet switch.

Otherwise, I'll be popping into Maplins afterwards, unless anyone can recommend a groovier outlet in walking distance of Exeter library that I should try.

Just a thought too, most ADSL routers I've seen don't support *-WRT with ADSL functions due to the ADSL firmware not being available. If it was cable that'd be a different story.
