If you're really in a learning mood...hit up some friends for an old PII or
junker lying around, throw 2 NICs in it and viola.. a router :) Probably a
little harder to config then a Linksys you would find at BestBuy..but
infinitely better :) Throw some big HD's in there and you have yourself a
nice file server / backup server
You'll realy be able to tweak it and learn much more about security, etc...
plus nmapping your own boxes is always fun and won't get you in trouble :)
