RE: Firewall/Router suggestions



Hey Nik,

Whatever you want to do, it's up to you.
I would go for the 2600 myself, but some ppl here seem more concerned with
saving a few pennies than having neat al-in-one solutions, so I offered it
as a possibility.

I don't know what you mean about the futureproof element - you don't use the
frog with the 2600 at all.  It simply has an ADSL modem built in.
If you switch to cable, you lose that aspect of it, though you can still use
the switch side of things.
If you are looking for flexibility in switching to a different type of
broadband, then you are back to a two box solution - eg the 2200 series + an
adsl ethernet modem.  Then if yuo switch to NTL or BY, you plug your cable
modem into the 2200 and away you go.

In terms of software features, they should all be pretty much the
same.......
