As a cheaper option to running a computer 24/7, you might wanna think about those linksys wrt54g's, and loading the linux firmware (openwrt, or others ) on them. I have 2 of 'em, and they have been nothing but rock solid, and only use about 9 watts of power, as opposed to what a full on desktop would use.
There's lots of other routers that work with openwrt, too: http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware?action=show&redirect=toh Also, whether you go with openwrt or a full blown system as your router, you'll still need the modem, I believe, even if it is just used in bridging mode, to handle the actual "modem" duties. _______________________________________________ PDXLUG (a Portland Linux user group) mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug & #orlug
