....probably, as you suggested, the number of links (and what to) hit a sore
spot on MS's posterior.

Interesting that nowhere on The Register in those links was Belkin mentioned
(that I saw, anyhow) - which is what I use, and tend to recommend. This
could either because nobody's looked, or nobody's found (or that Belkin
don't custom-build for ISP's).

Linksys is of course now part of the all-hallowed Cisco... maybe they're
not so perfect after all?

I've never liked the way that BT set up their routers - and I don't like the
policy that too many ISP's have of sending a router that can be effectively
hacked into from their servers, supposedly for updates, but potentially also
for many other things including customer support - which is why I try and
get people to buy and use their own routers.
