Re: Recommendation of ADSL modem

Thus spake Kevin (kkadow_(_at_)_gmail_(_dot_)_com) [16/02/05 14:18]:
: I'm using a cheap ADSL "bridge" right now, with BSD doing the PPPoE,
: NAT and firewalling.  I'm thinking about the Sangoma mostly becaues I am
: looking for something with monitoring of line quality and/or link up/down.

FWIW, the GNet modems (can be configured to either route/NAT/firewall or
bridge) have an SNMP interface.  I've never paid any attention to my
walking, but you can collect data from it quite easily.  Dunno if it has an
entry for line status.  I'm currently using a BB60A, I believe...

(Note that they also have a serial console and telnet interface.  It's one
of the nicer modems when it comes to management.)

They're pretty cheap: most ISPs sell 'em for less than CAD$150 (IIRC).
