Re: [q] Quad 700 as firewall running Mac OS 8 or 7

[setient]

the only problem with such netgear linksys and belkin routers is that 
they crash fairly often when using applications such as bittorrent and 
limewire or so i have found

A Quadra can be used under Mac OS for that purpose, as a router and
firewall.  However, considering that there is a cost for buying the software
(like IPNetRouter) and the energy cost of keeping the Quadra turned on for
this purpose, and considering that a dedicated router/firewall device from
Linksys or Belkin costs about $50 these days (with very low power usage), it
does not make sense.  Those small devices are designed just for this
purpose, so they are very easy to set up and use.
If that Quadra was also serving some other purpose (such as a data server or
web server), then it might (?) make sense.
