Warning: Incomprehensible Geekiness Ahead
I picked up a LinkSys Etherfast broadband router today so that I could have multiple computers share a DSL connection. (Necessary, since my ISP uses a loathesome PPPoE system.) I just got it installed, and am hugely impressed with it. Not only does it allow sharing of the connection as advertised, but its built-in PPPoE client software is evidently much better than the skanky Enternet client that my ISP provided, as my transfer speeds are markedly faster. (Up from about 75Kbs to 115Kbs!) Definitely a worthwhile addition to the studio.
