[MLB-WIRELESS] OT Telstra cable/adsl and hardware routers

[Nath P]

or, you could use something like a netgear RO-318 (kinda old now) that has
the heartbeat inbuild so you aint relying on software on any particular
machine.. or even on any particular machine being on. the only trick to
remember with the login client on the netgears is that you have to have
@bigpond after the username (NOT @bigpond.com or @bigpond.com.au)

and yeh, the port is 5050, using something like bpalogin
(http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/) which works fine. its just not a nice as
using a router that does it for you.

> You can run PPPoE on your router of choice and port-forward the Telstra
heartbeat (TCP and UDP 5050 from memory) to a machine on your network and
run the Telstra software on that machine.
