Bryan/Ben, I'll go look at pfSense too. Already have a machine. Used a Dell Optiplex years ago w/NT4. Them damn things still for sale?!! Weird split mbs. Hard to kill.
Hayes, I'll check out the "werkz-in-a-box"DLlink you suggested. Really did not want to buy anything else. Was planning to use an old netgear rt314. Juice only costs $0.0735/kwh here. Chris, Will go check out the link you sent. Never done any linux. In any case, the 285MB iso will be tough to dl via dailup. Hmm. I'll check local for someone with highspeed. Thanks guys. Am I doing a "gateway" or just a hdw "firewall?" Or, will it be a "gateway w/firewall?"
