PolyCom VSX 3000 review

PolyCom VSX 3000 review

Review The VSX 3000 saves space and hassle for regular video conferencers by allowing calls to be made from the desktop. Just don't knock it around too much.

AVC Broadband review

AVC Broadband review

Review If you can't get ADSL, consider a one-way satellite broadband connection such as AVC Broadband. However it's expensive, and your computer needs wired links to the DVB decoder and the phone line (for dial-up uplink connection).

Netgear DG834G review

Review The DG834G combines five network functions in a single box — ADSL modem, router, switch, firewall and 802.11g wireless access point. Despite some dodgy firmware updates, it’s one of the better single-box router solutions on the market.
