i did find a link to what i vaguely recalled: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9390135932.html netgear WGR614L -- and note how netgear seems pretty serious about linux support (although i'm not sure what to make of the claim that openwrt support is "coming soon" -- anyone here played with one yet?) sadly, i see no USB ports which, these days, you'd think would be an absolute no-brainer. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
