HOME ROUTERS/FW Review contributions:

BELKIN
---------

bargain hunters check out BELKIN also...I have a linksys
but bought belkin for a friend.  I believe belkins
are powered by Linux also (as with Linksys).  Firewall/router
features are ok, quite similar in features with
the linksys firmware.  Remote web admin supported,
dhcp, vpn pass thru, DMZ feature, etc..the whole nine
yards.

Paid $30 (after rebate) for the belkin, and that
was with the 802.11b.

Friend says it was ok, no problems as far as he knows.
I would  get a 802.11g version if I catch it on sale
at an insane price.

PROS: good.  all is good.
CONS: antenna not detachable.

NETGEAR
-------

my friend has one.  The problem with his router
is that if outgoing connections are routed
inward (if you have a host "outside", eg., if
you redirect port 80 to a internal host for example),
there's a problem connecting.
Dont know the model number.
