some connections still require a login that sends the "heartbeat", most have been migrated to a new system that doesn't. Most routers support Bigpond and will advertise support for BPA, Bigpond, or Heartbeat. Make sure you restart the modem after plugging in the router as I think it's like Optus where it locks onto the first MAC address it sees on the LAN side -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
