When I first got DSL I used a Pentium Pro 200 with 10baseT cards as my router / firewall / infrastucture services / bastion host / etc. At the time it was perfectly fine; 1.5Mbit DSL was easily within its limits. Today with Verizon FIOS I get 20Mbit/s download speeds... faster than my LAN used to be! Eep! Today I use a Linksys WRT54G (running Tomato) for my router/firewall and a seperate dual core Pentium D 3Ghz CentOS 4 machine for the rest of the stuff, as well as file server, backup server etc. -- rgds Stephen
