Last question. Just got an Airport station for my Pismo & iMac... card is
backordered (!). Anyway, after reading the accompanying documentation, it would
seem to me that the Airport is in of itself a hardware router!
What I do is connect my Ethernet network directly to the Airport. Then any
computer on the network can share an internet connection whether it has an airport
card or not (once I've set up Airport with a card equipped Mac) as well as be
accessed via the airport connection. Obviously I haven't done this, but am I
correct in my assumption? If so, all I need is firewall software like Doorstop.
