Good question Todd... don't let people make sweeping comments which are not backed up...
I have a LinkSys BEFSR41 (4port/1wan) which works quite well; never a problem. The other day, I upgraded the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised to find that unlike most TFTP upgradable boxes, this one can be uploaded via a TFTP client "put" rather than needing to install a TFTP server. BTW, the upgrade did not require me to touch the box physically, so it's great if you need to locate it remotely and still maintain its s/w. The latest software now has the ability to log all connections/attempts (see who's knocking at the door) to a log server (as well as maintain a short internal list). For details on setting up your Linux box to accept these log entries, visit my site at http://pfortin.com/Linux/LinkSys/ HTH, Pierre PS: I finally retired my Cisco router which used to be my firewall when I got the LinkSys (small, quiet, fast and reliable).
