Another data point. Talking to the D-Link salesman at a Wireless show. 
By end Oct, they'll be selling the DLS-604G. WAP, Firewall, Router, 4 
port ethernet and ADSL modem in one box. Likely UK price is around 
UKP200 so $200 or $175 after discounting. We won't know till somebody 
plays with it, but it sounds like the firewall is powerful enough to 
secure trusted use while safely sharing with guests.

I have to assume that this is the next standard box. With Toshiba, 
Draytek, D-Link all announcing one, Netgear, Linksys (Microsoft), 
Buffalo and the others can't be far behind.

In which case, we have an opportunity to guide the non-technical into 
routinely sharing their bandwidth so that it's the norm rather than 
something too dangerous to touch.
