My NAT firewall is a plug-and-play WebRamp m3t. It's essentially a
sealed box. For what it's worth, I wouldn't buy another -- it
requires occasional reboots (via power cycles).

Actually, BO2K would do a better job (remote access & file transfer)
for my needs than a web server on the PC. It offers more
functionality and better security. I wouldn't do that because I do
not want to have to explain scanning with BO2K.

None taken. I did ask for you opinion...
