[clue-tech] seeking information for colocating a tower in a low cost datacenter

[dhahn]

In general I'd agree, however, the newer Actiontec's - the gray ones, 
forget the model number - have done rather well in my experience.  My 
only gripe were some of the restrictions in the web configuration 
utility.  So, I turned on telnet and hit the box.  Much to my surprise, 
busybox happily greeted me and I finished my configurations of IPTables 
that way.  I liked having a little linux box running my DSL connection.
