Re: [LUG] Router/firewall recommendation

[Richard Brown <rich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ben

Sorry but I have to totally disagree with this remark. The total piece 
of crap that Ben refers to has worked brilliantly for me both with 
Linux and Mac. Configuration took less than 5 minutes on both os's and 
I recommended one to a win xp user and I configured it to work within 
half an hour. Maybe Ben you need to go back to the exercise book. I 
have used it on Fedora and Debian (in the shape of Libranet).

P.S. Could we show a little bit of respect to the list and whilst we 
might have strong opinions about something maybe curb those opinions 
slightly and refer to problems experienced rather than just right 
something off as a total piece of crap. As it goes you did this with 
the non-support of uPnP but folks on this list might have answer. 
Thanks
