RE: [OT] Cheapest PC ?

["christopher purves" <CHRIS_PURVES@xxxxxxx>]

Gotcha,

Now if I understand correctly, the adsl is not a problem as it supports
that.
I have a wag54g wireless router at home that would do nicely as router-2
and
give me wireless for free (at the moment its simply attached to my green
switch).

So for fiewall rules....

router 1 say lets in http and ftp
router 2 lets in nothing.

I can pinhole by opening a port on router2 to allow webserver on router-1
network to get access.

Nice and also fairly low power compared to my smoothwall I imagine.
