it is alot faster than a router most cpu's in a router is 16 bit aranging from 12 mhz to 80 mhz. some of the older one are using an 8 bit cpu @ 8 mhz ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11992515 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 16:11:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11987993 rob_in_chatt : i just fail to see how those 4 machines could run at the full potential when they are rounted though the internet via an old machine that should be scrap metal by now.........LOL it doesnt make sense........run a 3.5 gig machine through a .266 gig one.........o well]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11987993 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 00:59:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11985071 anon : I agree ... Smoothwall is a very good solution. Its
easy to install and setup. It helps you reuse older
hardware that might be hanging around. It has a very
good support from the Community and good ad-on mods too..

Take the time and check out the web site ....
