E-Tech analog ADSL router&modem combo

[odin]

Hello folks,

I've been doing some digging for my father who is about to get an ADSL connection over an analog phone line. He still needs a modem and the standard one the phone company provides is stupidly overpriced. So I figured I'd do some research to pick a nice one for him.

So far this one is my 1st choice. I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with this thingy. It's a rather cheapish router/modem combo, costing about 130EUR/USD.

Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

C'mon, no one's got anything usefull to say on this device? :-)

Well, it is for my parents who would use it for 2 desktop peecee's and one laptop, all running some flavour of windoze.

And it should work with the phone company/isp, the producers homepage explicitly (sp?) states that it works.

@rhino:

Thankyou that was just the kind of reply I was looking for :-). So E-Tech just imports them and rebadges it?

Are there any problems using software which uses weird portnumbers? (EG running gameservers, voice/videoconferencing/etc).

Cheers,

I read some reports that is was not able to map portranges, but only single ports. Good thing it does though =).
