I just received a 2100 in the mail from Qwest for DSL.  The 675 that I have been
using for the past two years is still chugging along great.  Needs a power cycle
every so often to get it working, but well, takes all of 6 seconds for that.

The 2100 is for a second DSL line (don't ask me, I just maintain the network
here at home), so my poor NT box gets to be the guinea pig to test it out (gotta
find that other 675 around here).
