    Anyone know of a currently-available analogue modem router. Only need single modem port and single Ethernet connection? Need to provide "set and forget" dial-in access to a network. 3Com did have one but it is now discontinued. Dlink had a DL-520+ 2-modem unit, but I can't find this being supplied now.

    Either of the above from a valid source (not e-bay!) would suit, or a low-cost functional equivalent.

    4 10/100 LAN + 1 WAN Port Broadband Router with Parallel Port Print Server; ext power €79.00 + VAT

    They delivered an SMC barricade smc7004abr 4x100
    and WAN port and parallel port
    - it's got a serial port for dial up too - you need an external modem

    Probably serious overkill for your needs, and definitely not low cost, but some models of Apple Airport will do it.

    Thanks guys,

    The router from SMC looks to be the answer. It also solves another problem (challenge) on my long list, with its Print Server function. Funny thing is, Google results put me off routers with serial ports. But it won't break the bank to find out, and the unit will be useful in any case.

    Thanks again.
