I'd wager to say yes, it does support layer 3 routing :) That's a bit of a redundant term (though you can route above layer 3). Depending on how many interfaces you have on your router, you may be sending multiple vlans over a trunk port (I'm pretty sure the 1600 series support trunk ports -- you

I use pfSense, which is based upon m0n0wall. It provides a lot more features than a stock m0n0wall, and I haven't had any problems with it. The RRD graphs it provides are really great informational tools, and there's a built in QoS wizard that even has "Asterisk" as a built-in option to prioritize

As I posted yesterday, Use m0n0wall from m0n0.ch on an old pc or a little router box for the best results. I use draytek 2910 routers and they work fine. On 6/1/07 19:00, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Re: Best inexpensive home office router for > VoIP (QoS with maybe PoE)

The absolute best results I have had were with m0n0wall (m0n0.ch) which worked perfectly for me to bounce voip calls over vpns with other traffic and no user any the wiser. Second after that but with lots of plus points for value come the draytek routers. A couple of years ago, their firmware used
