Yes I reviewed the linksys but it only had NAT, I didn't want to put
BlackIce on all my computers. I needed a box that also did Packet
inspections.

Subject: Re: DSL internet with PPPoE
If you want to talk about an all-in-one unit for the home then Linksys has
it.
(I should stock buy I guess)
A new product has their popular cable/dsl router built in (which does the
PPPoE thing) which by the way the latest firmware upgrade allows you to set
the MAC address on the WAN side for those providers that expect to see a
"real" nic mac address.
Also built in is a print server
and it has a wireless access point that supports 802.11b - built in!
3 for one, one unit.
I have just seen this on their web, don't know a price and I think the
wireless part requires a PCMCIA card but I haven't gotten that far into the
specs.
