If I recall there is a version of IPNetrouter that will work on a 68030 and above. Routing is not a processor intensive task on most home networks. The advantage of a software router is that the software has more options. A disadvantage is that another machine must be maintained on the network. > For the Airport base station, do you know if the RF (ie, wireless) part > can be turned off if not wanted? Yes you can. The advantage of an Airport is the built-in V.90 modem. You must add a hub or switch to add ports. The advantages of an Asante router is that a more modern V.92 modem can be added externally and more ports (4 or 8) are built-in. > Thanks, > > Bob Hope that gives you some options, Colonel Panik -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
