Gee, I'd sure like to know where you get your routers...

It definitely wouldn't have the forwarding performance or

Cisco disagrees with you. Actually, I do too. Individually, they
may not be much; but, together they are a huge market. The enterprise
market is starting to get full whereas the SMB market is just really
getting into technology.

I will agree with this. The trick is finding companies that are
willing to spend the money to do it right. If they aren't, then move
on since they won't be worth the aggravation. On the other hand, if it
is a really small company that only has a single server, then having it
also act as their Internet gateway isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'd be scared to have to depend on a router that was configured by
a $20/hour NT admin.
