Actually, many of the SMC routers seem to use a browser interface _exclusively_. Its one of the things I don't like about them as they seem picky about which browser they want to cooperate with. I've got the SMC7004ABR - described as a "4-Port 10/100 Mbps Broadband Router". Its com port is for an external modem which you can use either exclusively or as a fallback when the WAN dies. It also has a parallel port for connecting a printer (it has a built-in print server as well though it doesn't work very well). - Beaker _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
