Others have already answered your question. However, I would also like to point out that the differences are purely in software. You can modify the VLAN configuration to make the WAN just like all of the other ports. Alternatively, you could change one of the other ports to be a DMZ. It's very flexible. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
