Why not just purchase a DSL router, which will store your authentication
information, and let it handle all of the negotiation with the upstream
host?
i can not comment about other dsl modems, only 2wire and westell.
http://www.2wire.com/ http://www.westell.com/
westell; <SNIP> is a
'telco-adsl in/1 ethernet out + usb'. <SNIP>
2wire; <SNIP> 1100 is 'telco-adsl in/1 ethernet out + usb'.
2701 is 'telco-adsl in/4 port ethernet out + wireless'.
authentication, all 3 do this and is set up thru html menus, 'one time',
held in memory, with password protection, as is firewall and other configs,
including protocols.

until i figure out why 1/2 max speed, [modem itself checks ok, speed drop
is only after modem]
You mean modem status indicator (html page on modem) indicates ~4MiByte/s
(working from memory of dsl round here), and you are seeing transfers from an
FTP/rsync/torrent/http site of ~2MiByte/s? to the computer?
Are you leaving the modem connected to the telco line and on for a few hours?
I seem to recall the 2wire I worked with (~3 years ago) taking a while to work
out a reliable transfer speed with the telco equipment.
[the following would not explain the 2701]
Do the modems let you set your expected computer connection, i.e, USB vs
Ethernet? Could it be something as silly as 'if the user set connection to
USB, do transfers at USB 1.1 speed'?
i am only running this 1 station. after i get things
speed up, i will use another port to feed system router, plus an additional
direct line to my 'playstation'. ['play' because i enjoy what i do and do
not consider it as 'work']
