Number of devices bothers me more than the cost... I'd rather not have a cluster of devices taking up space and adding points of failure and hassles. Its going to be easier to run shorewall on the Linux server and just have all the traffic go in and out from it via the Netgear. This way I treat the netgear as a combined dumb switch, ADSL modem, and wireless AP. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
