Need to spec up a replacement to the "cheap assed" usb modem into server situation im currently in with work.

going to be needing a router that can handle either two adsl modems itself + "omg the networks died" dialup backup if possible.


what are my options?
need to give us some contingency with the internet connection.

ive got a rack for the comms gear so anything rack based is a big + for me as it saves making a shelf / other dodgy arrangement
 

You want to take a look at this thread:

I settled on a Cisco 2600 in the end (only got it yesterday) ! But imo that was an overkill decision (for my needs) and one of those netgear routers would have been fine.

If youre looking to remove the need for external modems, I think youre going to end up looking at Cisco with DSL WICs.

plan might have been scuppered yet by the boss...
hes in tight fisted mode atm and doesnt like the sound of paying for two adsl connections
