I'm sitting here with Pro@access or whatever they call it,
and it's delivered with a SpeedStream 5711. So all you
need is ethernet... (these are the new ones proaccess
thingies though).
As for being in control of your traffic, I bitched heartily
at the Tele DK ADSL department about them blocking
ports on the router for proaccess, while netexpress
remains fully open. They claimed it was necessary to
ensure the higher uptimes they claim proaccess has.
I'm sure they'll be glad to take 950 DKK plus taxes
to open or close a simple port.

Netexpress filters nothing at all IIRC, while proaccess
blocks everything possible except for a few services
which are forwarded to internal machines - traffic on port
80 for instance is forwarded to the internal IP
192.168.1.3.
I guess I'm pretty ticked off that I'm not supposed to
tinker with my own router. Usually, you'd expect
small businesses and the like (which is the targeted
market for proaccess) to be able to figure this stuff
out themselves, while "normal users" (netexpress)
would need to have a nanny watching them.
