[ILUG] Suggestions for DSL routers

I have two customer sites which are linked via an LL (or tow) but  
they also have a VPN l;ink over DSL to share the load. The VPN is set  
up using two Zyxel routers which were remarkably cheap, and have done  
a trojan job, once the arcane configuration was finished (not  
possible using only the docs - assistance from vendor priesthood was  
required).

So, spares are not available, and doubtless the necessary priestly  
knowledge would be hard to get now, given the age of the boxes. So,  
looking for suggestions for replacements. Eitehr end of the link has  
a mixture of Linux and Netware servers and Windows clients, but I  
suppose that's academic (apart from being a miserable attempt to make  
this be slightly on-topic).

Anything would be considered. Cost is a factor, but not an overriding  
one. Stability, and availability of spares, and ability to configure  
without a priest would all be important.
