Netopia 3346N-ENT ADSL/ADSL2+ Modem & 4 Port Switch

I was seriously considering this modem but prior comments about it not having a GUI interface for configuration sent me to the Netopia ("a Motorola company") website to read the actual product manual. Kudos to Netopia for making it fairly quick and easy to find this PDF file.

No kudos for its content, however. Having all Macs, naturally I turned to the section on Configuring TCP/IP in Macintosh computers and was absolutely gob-smacked to find it quite detailed with screen shots -- for Mac OS 9! You remember OS 9? The one that was last released in 2001? The one for which upward compatibility was finally dropped when Apple went to Intel processors in 2005, SIX YEARS AGO???

I'm sorry, but seriously? You haven't been able to update the manual in this decade?

No sale.

Seemed like a good price at first, but then exceedingly slow shipment, incomparably horrible communications. And the back of the router was coated with dust - this was NOT a new piece of equipment... I would never buy from them again.

The product would seem to work well, however, there is no GUI interface like most similar products. You must telnet into a text based interface. Again, this is not in and of itself a bad thing but, for example, AT&T has no idea how to configure it because all their info is for GUI interface products.
