What about firmware updates? I keep an ol' win box around just for those (AST (long gone) with 16 Megs of Ram - parts almost from the stone age, if available).
A Netgear router had at least five updates. Does Cisco give rebates or other compensation? By the way, have you heard of a Mac-capable X-10 interface? Apparently there is a way (and free SW) to use those with Macs. I saw a thread of the NGs, and versiontracker has the SW.
