Bill, Could you elaborate on the pitfalls of using a "consumer" product and is that due to default configuration or inherent hardware that cannot be configured as necessary or provide some version or standard of service?

This seems ominous and worthy of details on this thread Rusty > Given the HIPAA requirements, I strongly recommend against a consumer > solution like Linksys.
