Besides the Actiontec you mention and the WRT54G from Linksys, are

In general I'd agree, however, the newer Actiontec's - the gray ones,

only gripe were some of the restrictions in the web configuration

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.
