Aha, no, not a Linux variant :) I had to check back through that quote
to work out where I used 'pure DSL'! I was meaning a DSL only router
without the ADSL capability, the models are just a variant within the
same product range, although sady, presumably due to lack of space in
the flash memory for the firmware the odd feature has been removed to
make space for the ADSL features :(
