[AusNOG] Going beyond ADSL in a non-NBN world

[Fraser McGlinn]

Just to add to everyone else's comments, I've had no issues with my 
DrayTek Vigor 120 bridged to a x86 Mikrotik either.

Is this maybe an issue isolated to Aus? I presume Alexander you are 
based in NZ (based on your .nz domain), which is the same as myself.

Thanks,

Fraser
