I've just changed the firewall lashup though, see my reply to Anne. This thing is at least as good as bottled beer at first impression. You can now run router software very similar to what the linksys WR54G series routers use, but since it isn't so resource limited as it is in my old BEFSR41, its has another trainload of bells and whistles one can setup. Like automatic upnp if I fire up azureus, customized firewall rules based on iptables, all the ipv6 stuff when that comes in, yadda yadda. So, until I find out different, I still have a bulletproof firewall between me & the net. And the room is at least 200 watts cooler. >Craig -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
