What you want is a WAN port, try the vigor range from www.draytek.co.uk, they have all sorts of nice ipsec/pptp servers and other stuff that can be useful. Some of the vigor range have a fully configurable wan port and are not too expensive, in fact comparable with off the shelf ADSL router modems. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
