I wholeheartedly concur. I have been using a coyote box ever since I got
my cable connection. I actually REFUSED to put my network on the cable box
until I had a firewall in place. Coyote took care of ALL my issues in a
flash. It is extremely easy to setup, runs on virtually ANY pc you have
lying around, and doesn't require a hard drive to be used/wasted.
Current setup: 1 mb, 133Mhz processor, 16MB ram, Floppy drive, Vid card
(not necessary, but convenient). BTW, my router has not used over 10MB ram
since creation, with 4 computers running behind it.
NOTE
If you are a gamer, you can run into issues with the NAT and games, IE you
will not be able to host games on places like gamespy as they dont work
well with NAT. BNet works without a hitch however :^) DiabloII rocks.
