I think that even MS are realising that ICS is a bunch of ...

As for the hardware router - if you are into playing computers, it might be worthwhile picking up an old computer and setting it up as a gateway running Linux - this is exactly what I have at home.

The linux box becomes a gateway/firewall/server/NT Domain Controller (Samba)/Filestore/database/webserver/etc.

Linux is capable of doing this on ISDN, Modems and I believe even ADSL as well these days.

If you don't want to run X (Windows for UNIX) then you don't need a spanking fast system - I've run a router/firewall on a 386 in the past (and it added less than 10ms to my pings).

Currently mine is a 2xCelery system, but hey!

that's my router that i have running LRP on and old 486 with 8 megs of RAM which doubles as wall art. I put the whole thing together for close to free. I've changed my network around and it now includes a Netgear 8 port switch and another computer or two, the Rio Reciever, and occasionally the empeg. It's been up and running for over a year and a half without reboot. Solid.

A class install !!

Reminds me of the slimline Dell 486sx16 sitting here on my desk acting as a LRP box, I tend to forget it isn't just my monitor stand (since the fan died on the power supply last year it's totally silent).
