Agree, these appliances are good for most nat firewalling.
But I still use an old computer for this so I can contribute to
dshield.org (DShield provides a platform for users of firewalls to share
intrusion information).

Also, if you want to do VOIP on the same DSL you use for general web
access, then you might want to configure the firewall to give preferred
QOS to the VOIP.  I am not bothering with this yet.

The cheapo wifi base station I have could also be used as a nat
firewall.  I forget whether it supports a DMZ.

Unrelated: who has some SS5 32M simms they could part with?  I can't pay
much more than postage and a big thanks for them.  It would be nice to
max out my SS5, need another 5 or so.
