I have a Linksys BEFW11S4V4 connected to my cable modem. I know it's
old and slow but... it works. What I like about it is that it can send
it's logs to a pc. You get all the incoming and outgoing url's to a
file.. When I need to replace it, what other routers also send the
in/out urls to a pc????

Thanks

See Log Viewer 2.1 SP1a:
<http://svs.sv.funpic.de/>
Works nicely with the BEFW11S4v4. If you're not using Norton Internet
Security, uncheck NIS during the installation process. You can see
the URL's of what users are browsing. There's a list of other
supported routers on the home page.

There's also the official Linksys LogViewer application at:
<ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/befsr41/logviewer.exe>
Really crude but simple.

Sorry, I misread your question. However, I did manage to answer it
anyway. Look at the first page of:
<http://svs.sv.funpic.de/>
which proclaims:
Log Viewer supports capturing, viewing and analyzing SNMP trap
messages send by Linksys BEFSR11, BEFW11S4, BEFSR41, BEFSX41,
BEFSR81, BEFVP41, WAG54G, WAG54G, Linksys/Vonage RT31P2 and
similar Linksys routers/firewalls.

What all these routers do is send SNMP traps. They do NOT use syslog
and cannot be queried by SNMP MIB browsers. In other words, they're a
non-standard adaptation that works quite well for what it does, but no
more.

Routers that support the full SNMP ANS.1 protocol pile can sometimes
be convinved to generate similar SNMP traps. However, they rarely
have the feature found in the aformentioned routers, where the
connecting IP address is sent along with traffic information. You can
get similar functionality from router that supports SNMP, but not
quite as neatly or conveniently as with these routers.

If you need details on how to use SNMP or syslog for logging and
traffic monitoring, please disclose what you're trying to log or
monitor and I'll offer a potential list of routers that support SNMP
or syslog. It's just too broad a function to provide a simple answer.

If you just want similar (but not identical) functionality, please
look at:
<http://sonic.net/wallwatcher/>
<http://www.kiwisyslog.com/syslog-info.php>
<http://www.linklogger.com>
which have lists of supported hardware. There are many others,
depending on what you're trying to log, graph, or monitor.
