I'm trying to decide between an old 486 for a firewall between my
SuSE-7.3/Win98 box and the Internet or using the SMC7004ABR BARRICADE
Router/firewall.

The SMC has a port for my dial up modem as well as all the other ports for
ADSL or Cable. I'm presently on a dial up system with TPG but I'm thinking I
might have some use for the ADSL/Cable capabilities in the (very far
distant) future. Not much happening in Bonnells Bay these days. The SMC
seems to be the only router/firewall with the dial up modem capability.

Does anyone have any experience with the SMC router/firewall. At the moment
only interested in protecting a home stand alone computer. I've read a few
reviews but would like to get some info from experience, especially the
linux comunity. Is this a good programmable firewall or is it a mediocre
firewall like maybe Zone Alarm.

Thanks,

Bob Hubbard
