A product that has used the \d*.\d*.\d*.\d* regexp or something similar to check for a valid IP address (hint: it doesn't) and has installed hard-to-remove nag screens in the past isn't a good one, is it? IT weems so to me :)
For most people, I agree that a router is easier, but which routers make it easy to NAT and run services from inside?
I wasn't suggesting just connecting machines directly to the router. Rather connecting a Smoothwall machine (or similar) to the router, and hiding everything behind that. I wouldn't trust any firewall facilities build into an ADSL router for a second. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
