It's not terribly likely that the VLAN on the WAN port is supported by the stock firmware of any off-the-shelf router. It isn't clear why CenturyLink even does that, except to try to lock you in to their hardware. Considering your help with the table saw a few months ago, I'd be happy to build a D-Link DIR860L gateway to do the trick for you. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
