That's a good tip from Kitz. I'm always a Zyxel fan. (Although is it true to say that some of their devices have had better software than others?)
However, I'm talking about "long" line meaning 66 dB, whereas Burakkucat is 20 dB (!!) better than me, so we are in different worlds. I drool at the thought of Burakkucat's good fortune.
I could _definitely_ do with getting hold of one of those to test it out. (Provided it's a straight PPPoE modem, or configurable as such.) [Worth its own thread, for that device?]
