Hello fellow listers:

Well, was having terrible internet conductivity problems yesterday, and 
hence had the cable guys out today. It seems that my venerable linksys 
befw11s4 has bitten the dust, or at least enough so such that a new router 
must be purchased in order for me to remain behind a firewall and still get 
the business account speeds for which I am paying, fairly important since I 
have a linux server running off my network.

I'm inclined to stay with linksys and get the WRT54G, but when researching 
this product several months ago, I encountered amany many different flavors 
of this router, so to speak, all of which having a different letter after 
the model specified above.

I understand (or think I do from reading another post way back; perhaps even 
on another list) that the self-installation program which comes with the 
WRT54G is wholly inaccessible, but that the router can be successfully 
installed and interacted with through the web interface.

I major league don't like not being able to operate my windows box from 
behind a firewall, not to mention that my access to bookshare material with 
my icon is now toast, as is public access to my FTP server and no access to 
my asterisk PBX, so I really want to purchase an accessible router ASAP.

Thank you all for any input, suggestions, advice, etc. you would care to 
provide.

John
