[ale] floppyfw or dlink di-604

[jtaylor at onlinea.com (J.M. Taylor)]

Has anybody used floppyfw with comcast lately?  I've got 2 natsemi nics 
and have to muck with the modules for 2.0.8 which seems to just thoroughly 
break it, and 2.9.6 won't do dhcp to the modem and udhcp keeps 
segfaulting.  The machine is too old to boot from cdrom or I'd just forget 
the whole thing and go with something less annoying.

Failing this, if anybody has a D-Link DI-604 E "broadband router" firewall 
thing, have you managed to get it to *not* drop an ssh connection after 15 
minutes of idle time??  

thanks
