I've had a hard time dealing with one of these:

Looks like it doesn't handle IGMP subscriptions properly. However, this 
should only be a problem if you need proper multicast behaviour (in our 
case, mDNS, required for a printer to work).

However, I can strongly recommend Internode. We're using their nodephone 
service (with a little Linksys PAP2T) and it's been going great.

Cheers,


Jeremy
