I recommend getting a router/firewall to protect yourself from Road Runner. I won't argue over the merits of software over hardware firewalls...I think both sides are equally right and that you should also work the local firewall of your PC, too. However, if you get a Linksys, D-Link, or what-have-you, there's future growth for other PC's to be added without having to rely on any one box to filter out the bad guys. Besides, no Linux user WANTS to have only one Linux PC. Right? So, think ahead for when you'll have two, three, four, five.... ;-) Enjoy your new found speed. Remember to stay under the speed limit. The ability to go fast is not excuse for doing so. ;-) A copper penny's worth of advice, T
