DSL Modem Question

[Kevin Brown]

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.
