Query about routers with embeeded OSS components

[Joel Wiramu Pauling]

Does anyone have a complete list of adsl routers which use OSS firmware,
be it as a firewall or other, that work in NZ, or are supported by OSS
pppoatm stacks?

I have an old rta020 which is well past it's time, and have been
wondering if there are any suggestions...

Ideally I would like a card that can assign the external IP to an OS
level interface. Apparently their is an internal belan card that does
this and works with the various pppoAtm stacks, has anyone had
experience with these in NZ?

Kind regards

P.s apologies for the previous off topic post. If you wish to discuss
that topic further I would be very interested in hearing from you in
private.

I don't know of any that fulfill your first criteria but
there are a number of ways to get the IP to an OS level
interface as has been discused before (search the archives).
Personally I would recommend something in the Alcatel
external router range (530 etc) but there are other options.

For internal devices, these tend to need drivers and as such
are probably not such good idea for OSS IMHO...

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I wanted to ask about this...

How is this possible? Can it be done with an external router - my
assumption was this was only possible with an internal modem.

I had a quick look in the archives but I don't really know what to
search for.

different brands call it something different.

the old dse routers do it they call it half bridge

others use pptp

others call it bridge mode

not all routers do it

and some do it better than others (ie more stably)

true that

should have known as i had one for my first router. :)

it was fairly flakey in standard form tho so i flashed it to officeconnect
router fairly quickly.

the old dse routers are fantastic value in this respect, no idea about the
new ones tho maybe chris can advise whether they have half bridge or not.
