The ASUS solution is slick - but at $260, considering he has a spare box
laying around, any of the distros listed here (free) accomplish the same
feet.. printer sharing, SAMBA, etc.
But the Asus solution is a sign of what's coming down the pipe.

I picked up a Neoware Linux Thin Client that I will be attempting to do
either a m0n0wall or pfSense install on.
My Linksys WRV54G firewall is nice, but I am looking for a change.

Bryan/Ben,
I'll go look at pfSense too. Already have a machine. Used a Dell Optiplex
years ago w/NT4. Them damn things still for sale?!! Weird split mbs. Hard
to kill.
Hayes,
I'll check out the "werkz-in-a-box"DLlink you suggested. Really did not want

I just never saw the point in that. The thing is, pfSense is nice, but if
that's all you get out of it, why wouldn't you just grab a Linksys GL series

If you want things like file/print sharing then SME server is a good
idea. http://contribs.org
Personally, I hate the idea of so much "stuff" living on a firewall box.

Win2k Pro will make for an "eh" solution for this. It can be done, but it's

Have you looked at free, easily configured Linux based FW distros?
