Correct !
The Netgear can be configured as an IP router or as a bridge - it
includes the TA, similar to Ascend Pipeline series. The Ascend has
better routing capabilities - the Netgear only routes IP, though you can
do some customizing for routing/filtering netbios, ipx, etc. There is a
Netgear model with the built in 10BaseT hub, but I don't have that one.
I have configured and used Gandalf, Ascend and Netgear - I like the
Netgear best unless you really need full ipx routing cababilities. It
is MUCH easier to configure than the others, and has much better LEDs
for diagnosing problems.
Ascend is OK - but complicated to setup and more expensive. Gandalf has
wonderful security - so good you almost can't force it to work. But it
is hard to configure and very expensive, I think.
I also like the external better than the internal TA only units. The
cost is a little more, but it is more versatile. With an second
ethernet interface in the linux system, it works the same as the
internal - but better! (IMHO...)
