Re: [PLUG] Re: DSL she no go...


I currenly have a linksys cable/DSL router - BEFSR41 - that I was planning
on using. Is that OK? Better suggestion?

I am not sure on the /29. I was just glad to hear static IP. If I did get
more IP's it would make life easier. If I had just one I would have to
port forward from the router to my server if I used it as the front-end.
