For such things, a dedicated router such as a Cisco is infinitely preferable, unless you foresee that the "router" will ultimately used for much more than just routing in the near future (e.g. doing things like proxy caching or whatnot). There was a recent thread on a similar issue (that time concerning GNU/Linux-based PC VPN gateways vs. dedicated VPN appliances) a month or two ago, and I hope this doesn't touch off the same arguments all over again. -- Your national greatness...are, to Him,...a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
