Hi Dave, I'm on the same plan using Paradise as my ISP. Traffic runs through a Dynalink RTA220 Router to a D-Link 8-Port switch thence to the various machines on the LAN. The Dynalink's not cheap (abt $230 retail), but has built-in kitchen sink (firewall etc).

I�m running XMMS now as a music player, and using GRIP for putting music on my machine (music is important!) Will try: evolution as a mail client (seems very popular) Mozilla as a browser (I am getting rendering errors using Mambo CMS... the editor is not working quite correctly in Mambo 4.1.1RC4). I am getting ADSL installed on Monday through Telecom... 256/128 and 10GB package. I don�t have an ADSL router yet (there are 3 computers in the house). I have looked at a Web Excel router for NZ$110 that has 4 ports. It doesn�t have a built in firewall is the only thing that I can see isn�t so good. Any comments? Regards... (day 3 of using Linux on a desktop!) Dave www.davemateer.com
