Sharon,

I've found that Asante has some nice routers, with good support for Macs.
Here's a link: http://asante.com/products/routers/index.html

>at that moment who could answer any Mac questions.

>Question #1: I have a G4 that I use all the time and a Toshiba laptop
>that I use once in a while.  When I want to get online with the PC, I
>have to unplug the DSL cable from my G4 and then plug the cable into the
>PC.  I want to switch from one computer to the other without having to
>unplug/plug-in the cable all the time.  From reading the messages on
>this list, I think I need a router to do what I want to do.  The only
>problem is that I don't know what I need in a router, and I don't know
>what brand is a good brand, so I need recommendations for routers, if
>possible.

>Question #2:  I want to buy an external CD R/W drive for my G4 and would
>like recommendations for CD R/W drives too.  I mainly want the R/W drive
>so I can do backups of my G4 to a CD disk.

>Question #3:  I also want a floppy drive, even though I don't need it
>very often, I'd like to have it.  Any suggestions on what kind/brand of
>external floppy drive I should buy?
>
>Thanks for any help you can give me, I appreciate it.
