[GTALUG] Modem/router replacement?

[Digiital aka David]

I don't use DSL so I can't help with the PPPoe.

But as for a spare modem.You maybe surprise to find Value Village has them
often! . I have found several Routers that are upgradable to DD-WRT for $5
Example the other day I picked this one up for $5.99.
