That's what I'd heard here.

I have several PC293's (? basic modlerouters) with on/off switches.
One Christmas, I bout the VS model on sale and it crapped out within
months. So I traded it in for one with the simple on/off switch and it
has survived (like its brother) for years and years.

I think that, If I wnated to slow the thing down, I'd invest in an
external VS controller.

By the way, why would I want to slow it down?
