Why would you spend money buying something that is absolutely free and better.
Yes. All you have to do is grab a 486 Machine or even 586 computer from a second hand
store.
Thost you can get for about 40 - 60 Dollars. All you need is an intel processor (386, 486 .
or 586)
A 4MB Ram and two network cards plus 240MB Hard drive space.
That box will act as your firewall, mail server , DNS server, Firewall serer , Web Server
etc.
Linux does it free of charge. Besides with its Masquerading system you are much better off
than
paying just for a hardware version.
