That's a pretty neat setup you have there Robert. What are you using to get 4 ports on that old PC?

You don't have to set anything now or run any special plugins or apps. I built a little embedded 4 port box running clarkconnect (turnkey firewall linux distro) It handles QOS very well and with the better CPU (600MHz Pentium-M celery vs 219 MHz Arm in the old DDWRT router) I can run more filters and apps on it without bogging it down. I was planning to use smoothwall but opted for clarkconnect since it had an embedded webserver (LAMP) setup. lopaka ________________________________ From: JRS <stei...@pacbell.net> To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 9:02:54 AM Subject: Re: [H] Yahoo Mail AT&T has had us on it for a while now. It's OK for web-based mail as long as you use Ad Block Plus. :) I was pissed beyond belief when they added adverts last year. I called and complained, and pointed out that I was a paying customer since they are my ISP, but they didn't care. When at home, I always use local email programs, not web-based, but the web-based version is OK for checking email when at work or traveling. -- JRS stei...@pacbell.net Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Stan Zaske <swza...@yahoo.com> > To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com > Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 8:15:16 AM > Subject: [H] Yahoo Mail > > Has anybody tried the new Yahoo Mail?
