I believe my WET11 is an RP-TNC...but I could be wrong...I know that is 
what the router is...and I'm pretty sure my WET11 is too...if you have 
specific questions about the WET11 I do have one is an odd config 
(Qwest cable modem upstairs hooked into a router, then a WET11 hooked 
into a cisco switch with a cisco router and ip phone etc...ya I 
know...a screwed up mess...lol)

Thanks,
