* Yes, the 7270 is suitable for use in the UK, if you can install behind a
ADSL modem - or for Cable internet
* VPN is server. With the VPN client software on remote PC's you connect on
your home network
* German boxes are not locked for 1&1, but "branded" (means a settings are
pre-configured. However, yoy can "easily" chnage the branding back to "AVM"
to ge the full list of options
* German boxes can be reflased to Annex A, but tricky operations, and no
support form AVM (guatantee void)
