Do any hardware routers include a built-in BPB ADSL login client?
Almost every broadband router on sale at the moment has the ability to perform the login routines for you, relieving your computer from the task. BPB ADSL uses an industry standard system called PPPoE, which is an acronym for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Check the features list of the router you want to buy for PPPoE support. For a Cisco config for Bigpond ADSL take a look at: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2001/April/msg00099.
