[NMLUG] Linux Router/Firewall
Tim -
Just a thought. I feel like of lame saying this on a LUG list, but what the
hell.
Circuit city currently has a Microsnot 802.11b WAP/router with a 4port switch
in it for $59.99 - $30 instore rebate - $25 mail in rebate = $5
I know its microsnot, but hey, its cheap
Tim Emerick spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
> I have a small Dlink Router for my home cable connection that is on it's last
> leg. It loses connection, runs REAL hot and seems to crap out if there's any
> kind of traffic running on it.

> I was going to buy another dlink/linksys type router when I remembered I have

> router/firewall.
