take it, you won't regret it. as a firewall+nat-gateway these things are very nice, don't break (you need no moving parts). an ideal config-and-forget-box in a soho-type environment. i've also a hand full running at some customers, with almost no maintenance (only relevant patches). they run as nat/firewall, ipsec, dns-proxy, dhcp-server, ntp-proxy and have plenty of ram and cycles to spare. everything is in base included. on the other hand, if you want to saturate a 100 mbit line, you shouldn't take the net4501. --knitti
