Hi Paul, Interesting question. I'm also interested in what devices come out of this discussion.

I currently run 2.6 kernel on 2 WRT54G devices (as AP) and have no issues. > * it needs either FXO/FXS ports or some sort of cordless phone > integrated with it. There are WiFi SIP phones out there. With a SIP provider there is no need for any analog connection. Also some OpenWRT supported devices have FXO/FXS. It's worth wile to have a look at OpenWRT's table of hardware [1] [1] <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start> > * it needs to have ADSL2+ support, The ADSL (PCI-)cards I found all implement a modem with a network card. The network card is detected by the OS and you manage the ADSL modem by telnet. Other than the cable there is no advantage. [SNIP, some more items] One device I think may be compatible with your list is the AVM FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170, which is on OpenWRT toh. My setup is split into multiple boxes, but cabling wise I think it's manageable. I have a Speedtouch ST780WL in PPPoA to PPTP mode, a PCengines ALIX board with OpenWRT on CF and a separate switch. I do not use VoIP. GRTNX, RobJE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
