Yeah, I don't have a transciever, I get a routable 50.x.x.x IP address directly off the ethernet cable, no NAT involved. Without the consumer- grade modem/router I'm not vulnerable to the exploits currently affecting a lot of such hardware/firmware. I trust my Linux/iptables firewall/router a lot more :-) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
