I had a sneeky feeling i'd get a debate rather than an answer on this one....
The setup is for a reason, hence the carefully chosen wording of the request. I'm aware that linux is probably the better gateway but at this moment in time, my ISP cannot get a faster connection to my external modem than 31200. The Winmodem gets 50666 and also the linux boxs require internet/ftp facilities for a specific reason. Any help still appreciated.
