I can only comment on the D-Link DSL-504G, not the model T. It works,
but it's not very impressive. I had to write a script that would monitor
external IP addresses and if they disappeared for 5 minutes it would
auto-telnet to the router and issue the 'reboot' command. This is
because now and again the modem loses its link and fails to reconnect on
its own, even after hours (it doesn't even know that its disconnected,
by the looks). Since it would usually do this at the worst possible
times, I *had* to do something about it otherwise "Always-On" internet
was a joke.
My 10 cents.
