Here's a good list of Linksys routers (sorry for the long url - it should be all one line): http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Content_C1%26cid%3D1115416836002&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper I'm sure there are more from other companies, but hopefully others can point us to references for it, as I'm drawing a blank right now.
