For someone with your experience level, Paul, I'd say to go with
IPTables.
It isn't hard, and you'll never run into something you can't do.

We use a lot of Greatspeed brand routers for our corporate DSL
offerings. They seem to be pretty reliable, and they have models with a
decent built-in firewall. Check ebay, you can usually find them out
there for less than $100.
Check out www.dyndns.org , or similar, for a free dynamic dns
However, they charge more than I'm willing to pay for a static IP.

Good to know, since I've never looked at any of these :)
Travis I've used linksys ones with great results, I have some
Travis friends using Netgear ones that also work good.
Thanks.

I have the same thing and 2 of my friends do as well - we all had the same
issue... all of a sudden, the thing just
more than a theory. WIth the Linky befsr41, some of the newer firmware is
(using
a highly technical term here), crap. Some of the 1.43.x releases had

Since no one mentioned it, I'll tell you what I use for my SDSL
router/firewall:
an old PC with 2 NICs and OpenBSD with ipf and ipnat. (I'm still running
OpenBSD 2.7.)
If you have an old machine to spare, i'd definitely recommend going this
route rather than getting a broadband router. My
