[Asterisk-Users] looking for input on broadband router with QoS and VPN support

[Robert Rich]

Hi,

We're installing an * box next week (pbxtra from fonality) and I'm 
trying to come up with a solution for remote users that want a phone in 
their home.  I need VPN and QoS capability, wireless support would be a 
nice to have.  Ethernet handoff is fine, i don't need integrated dsl or 
cable modem... 

I've been googling and cruising the list and can find bits and pieces 
(some using vpn, many using qos), but not a whole lot of anything on 
folks that are using voip over qos over vpn

So far i've come up with this list:

Linksys WRT54G(S) running Sveasoft
Linksys WRV54G (stock)
Draytek 2900
m0n0wall on a Soekris 4801

I do want a small fanless box b/c this will be the primary access router 
for the remote user (including when they are just at home surfing).  I 
like the soekris because i can have a 'work' interface and a 'home' 
interface.  The draytek seems to have everything i want out of the box, 
but there are some concerns over the quality of the product and the 
support level.  The linksys wrt+sveasoft  is attractive from a cost 
perspective, but i'm not sure of the ability for the sveasoft firmware 
to handle everything i'm after...(and i need to cough up $20 just to ask 
the question on their board).  The wrv54g seems to get a lot of 
complaints, and it's not clear if there is any traffic shaping support.

Am i missing anything?  I'm sending this through m0n0wall on a PC now, 
i've got a wrt54g i'm going to test, and will probably place an order 
for the Soekris board next week.  I can't get any response from the US 
reseller of Draytek, so i'm not sure i'm willing to put any money on 
that one yet.

Thanks so much for any input!!!
