If I can use a DECbrouter90 on my existing LAN/Net connection to handle 
the GRE tunnelling that'd be pretty neat. What does it require in the 
way of port forwarding or is that unnecessary?

Also, looking briefly, is a T1 or a T2 better or is it not important? 
The only difference seems to be 1 rather than 2 big multiplugs on the front?

I have a Draytek router here that only does ADSL but it has a an 
Ethernet WAN port wth PPPoE so I can easily lash it to an OpenReach 
modem, I think. I think that might be one strategy as it's a lot more 
network admin friendly than a Hub 5.

Looks like the same setup as the DECserver 90 series? If so have a 90M I 
can borrow a PSU from and I know how to wire the plugs for them :)

I may have looked at this before but I got very confused D: I've no 
experience on Cisco equipment, so it might make an interesting learning 
exercise but I'd be starting at basic idiot level :\
