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. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ CV/Resume: http://www.voidstar.com/cv/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
