Re: [PLUG] cisco or linux as router for T1

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

That article got some criticism.  See the letters in the following issue.

Does the Cisco router have a firewall built in, or will Linux still be 
needed for that purpose?

I would think that a "hardware-based" router would be the better choice 
for use with a business' T1.  A PC-based router could fail in many more 
ways (drives, fans, etc.).  If they're going to pay for it, why not get 
the Cisco?
