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 re

You can go into Staples or Best Buy or CompUSA or even Wal-Mart and buy
just about any "SOHO router" and get a
