Yes, the 302G is a very reliable little modem. The best modems I have come accross as far as flexibility are:
1. Alcatel Speedtouch 5xx series (bridged, half bridge, NAT, pptp-pppoX) 2. Billion 7100S (bridged, half bridge, NAT) 3. D-Link DSL-302G (half bridge, NAT) 4. Nokia M1122 (bridged, NAT)
After much banging my head against a wall I finally got the half-bridge mode on my 302G working again. I had played with its configuration a while ago, and it wouldn't work in half-bridge mode any more, up until now. My net does still keep dying though, and I've got a major suspicion its to do with downloading programs that open lots of connections at once (bittorrent, imesh, gnutella). Is there any place in linux to look to see how many connections are currently being NATed? and then how to see which local ip address has the most. It's odd though, it seemed to work ok when I was with telecom, but then it all went pearshaped when I switched to Orcon. -- Cameron
