I am planning to create a VPN between two sites in the UK using a CISCO827-4V router and ADSL. I want to ensure the router is compatible with my chosen ISP (Nildram). They are unwilling to confirm if the router is compatible with their ADSL connection or not. I know we use PPPoA in the UK and the router can be configured to use this but are there any other considerations I need to be aware of, or is there anyone using Nildram that can recommend a firewall router to use, (or one to avoid!)

From what I know, the router you have is compatible, since most of the internet backbone is built on CISCO. You will have to check though if VPN connections are allowed on some network via ADSL, since most providers do not allow it (Speaking from experience.) Also, their unwillingness to confirm means that it must be compatible. Hopes this helps.
