Yep, got the Alcatel. First one died after 11 months, but got a new one under warranty and it's 2 yrs old. Also, the Linksys router takes care of DHCP, so I don't have to specify IP addr on my 2 PCs, the first one on grabs 192.168.1.100, the second gets *.*.*.101, etc. The only problem(?), if I need to configure the DSL modem (which I haven't yet), I need to connect directly from the NIC to the modem. Otherwise, it's very reliable.
though it isn't much of a better solution, there is one way i've found around that, if your router has an uplink port on it, plug the modem into your uplink port instead of the wan port, and you can access it, not much of a better solution, but at least you still have LAN access while you're configuring the modem
