VERY MUCH AGREED ("best of the worst"). And in fact, they only seem to work
"well" with Windows PC's. Mac users frequently find all the weaknesses in
Lynksys' hardware for some reason... even though I thought TCPIP was TCPIP,
crossover is crossover, etc...??
I've bought a couple Lynksys products, had to call their customer support
each time, each time was actually ∗insulted∗ for using Mac's (!), and will
never ever buy another of their products again. Mediocracy is one thing, but
the attitude I got from that company really floored me. Funny thing is, I
have to reboot my Lynksys DSL router about once a day... Compare that to my
G4, oh lofty customer service rep.
Sorry to be ranting OT, but Lynksys strikes a slight nerve...
best,
