RE: [PLUG] linux firewall replacement/upgrade

["Mader, Bob" <bobm@hp.com>]

Hi,

I've been very happy with my Linksys WRT54G with batbox installed. You
can get to the bash prompt and do what ever iptables things you might
need that the web interface can't handle. Also, batbox lives in RAM, so
you don't even need to reflash the firmware.

Check into cheap Linksys routers with after-market firmware.
