hi john
thanks for the quick response - have a looked at router options; just
felt a bit overkill as ill just be using the one laptop and wont be
having anyone needing to connect
am with bulldog at the mo - am aware their cust service is non
existent and theyre not 100% reliable network wise but theyre cheap
and when its running its running perfectly and thats all im looking
for really
anybody actually used the speedtouch 330 with ubuntu?
thanks
dan
