Just wonder why can't they build the following 3 functions into 1 box:
1) DSL modem
2) wireless router: 802.11g with Gb LAN ports (even a wire router w/Gb LAN ports is not available up to date)
3) VoIP gateway
The benefits are:
A) easy management with only 1 web interface
B) easy support: only 1 tech support guy to deal with
C) easy setup: 1 power outlet, reduced interconnect cables
D) lower manufactory cost while selling price may higher (good for the producers)
...
If D-Link or Linksys can't release such product in time, many other competitors will, I believe.
