    That's interesting Bruno, but I would prefer to leave the new
    Buffalo router alone since it is already doing some of what I want
    with DD-WRT. I'd like to experiment with the Cisco E3000 units,
    however I don't see those listed in their hardware list but I find
    it hard to believe no one has tried them.

    I subscribed to the mail list and made an inquiry, the activity
    appears to be low so I'll give it a few days and see what response I
    get. If none I'll see if I can muddle though, all it costs is time.

    As I've said before, we have limited usage on this Viasat satellite
    system and I am constantly trying to manage six regular users. I
    never have enough data, would like to know who used what when, etc.
    The OEM router software never tells me enough.

    Thanks,

    Bob
