I'm using a Linksys box just fine with Freenet 0.7; 0.7 has far fewer connections and no churn. I had it working with 0.5 ages ago, I think I just turned down max connections and bandwidth available in the freenet config. It would reset occasionally, but as long as everything used static ip, not dhcp, that wasn't a huge issue most of the time. HTH Evan
