Hello,, John.. First and fore most I do agree, that without testing Microtik its a bit premature for me to rate it and I apologise for that. However as with any commercial software or any commercial intended software there always a catch for a free version. Microsoft gave away I.E for free and now look what happen... if they decide to sell I.E now we are stuck... so much about that.. STN in my opinion is a good product,, in fact it is the reason for me to persue further in Linux community projects. I still tinker with it, but there are limitation to its ability for my needs. LRP linux router project,, as few people said it, way earlier in this forum is for geeks,, which require some knowledge of linux..., most people don't have the time to do that. I use,, freesco... you can get it at www.freesco.org or www.freesco.net. its completely free no string attached.. no commercial alternative,, just done by some dedicated people that belief in open source product.. normally support is within 24 hrs.. and loads of previous faq on dbase. Few intresting feature i found is that it support call in, web admin/telnet admin and not to mention lpd printer server too.. it can be configured to support up to 5 printer (was done by someone) but normally 2 the norm. Ok,, the above info is for the benefit of members subscribe in this list,, and I am sure everyone are constantly trying to find better and better software for their use.. I just make it easier. Thank you. affnan ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- Visit http://www.ShareTheNet.com for info about ShareTheNet Visit http://www.topica.com/lists/sharethenet for info about this list ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
