I was wandering if anyone has had any experience with these and if there are any compatability issue's ( I already assume the modem is of no use being a win-modem presumably) I'm also looking too find out about the reliability of the unit's seeing as they are relatively new, and if anyone has used them or are useing them, what there thoughts are for useing them as a stand alone cheap surfing box. Also, if anyone has links too similar type's of unit's i'd be most gratefull, modem's are not as important as ethernet, seeing as everything will be running on a LAN. oh, and if not already obvious, ability to work with FreeBSD is of most concern.
