I am using my new Pismo as my desktop computer and have just gotten DSL. However, in trying to establish "firewall" security I have found that I must connect my DSL line directly to my server computer. Unfortunately on the Pismo, I only have one Ethernet port, and because it does not have built-in SCSI, I can't add an Ethernet card for the direct DSL connection since I already have a SCSI card in my cardbus slot. So, here's my question, what if I were to use my 2300 as a server? There is built-in Ethernet in the dock and I could easily add an Ethernet card in the Nubus slots. While I know I can do this, would there be any drawbacks? Would the DSL connection run slower since the 2300 is a much slower machine? Would the whole network run slower since everything is now routed through the 2300? The main drawback I see, is that the 2300 would have to be turned on all the time now. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
