Subject: DSL Modem Question
Unfortunately I only have the 675 (hence why it doesn't work on the second DSL
line) and the internal 2200 card. I want to get rid of the PCI card, but would
also like a replacement for the 675 since it doesn't support IP Sec and I really
don't want to load work applications on my personal machines (Office XP, Cisco
VPN, Outlook, etc...). I'd rather keep those on my work machine, but without
VPN I can't really telecommute and fix things remotely.
