Don't know anything about the routers.  Serveral KLUG members have experienced
VERY strange behavior with LinkSys hardware recently.  Version 4 Linksys
EtherFAST cards are down right flaky (occasionally the MAC address changes) and
Linksys support has claimed that their SWITCHES have problems with Apple-Mac
clients (what's with that?).  Overall I just feel rather funny about their QC at
this point.  Pretty soon maybe they will make a $4 WinEther card....
