I think that many subscribers of this list are running with cable modem routers, like the Netgear box. I am running a Linksys BEFW11S4 which has a built in 4 port switch + wireless. I have never had any problem with it or its predecessor the BEFSR41 (wired only). JABR routinely brings his BEFW11S4 to BLU meetings and Installfests. Additionally, several engineers I worked with at Compaq have the same box. I have seen comments on other lists. While these boxes have had some security issues, they tend to be corrected quickly by firmware updates. Unlike true firewalls, these are simply NAT boxes. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/5lQQ+wA+1cUGHqkRApIxAJ4glgGhSbErrdLlO6xW7QzXXeXd/QCeO4lT f0IW+ZRgSD3YlyXqreNyK+8= =T/pK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
