[nflug] Router Recommendations

[Mark Musone]

I'm a little confused, only because you mention you have a T-1. So, don't
you also need a T-1 card in whatever hardware you are looking for? 

If you're running a Linksys/d-link, have you looked into dd-wrt ? it's a
linux kernel firmware that runs on the hardware..it's awesome. I use it all
the time. You'll also get all the control you're talking about and lots of
bonus features!!

www.dd-wrt.com

Mainly the reliability aspect of it.  We've tried things like Linksys 
and D-Link over the past four years, and every time we've ended up with 
a piece of hardware that locks up, needs to be restarted, etc, quite 
frequently.  I'd also like to be able to have a bit more fine grain 
control over the firewall.
