Bob Meyer has made me a couple of extremely reliable routers with old
pc's running Mandrake and Shorewall (comes with the Mandrake distro). I
can't tell you how much better the performance is from them little
router boxes, and FAR better hack protection. All you need is an old pc
with about 32mb of ram. <br>

<div>Hi, you'all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've got DSL and would like to get a Router/Switcher with NAT
Firewall, ( Gateway, VPN, if needed??? ) That can do IP Masquerade, so
on and so forth. In other words with all the bells and whistles.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know vary little on the matter other than from what I've read.
Have vary little hands on experience, but I will do better than trial
by fire! </div>
<div>Though I would rather get the one for dummies model. You know
the type that ya stick in the CD and it does all the rest. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So any suggestions out there? Make? Model? What do you'all think
of Linksys and Netgear? Any others you'all can suggest? </div>
<div>Verizon suggests Linksys equipment since their DSL Modems are
made by them.</div>
