you DO realize that a hardware firewall is just an embedded operating system (chances are it's unix or linux) inside a mini-computer with filtering rules right?

this plus a web server (typically apache) and a scripting language to execute functions into the system

No. But since Im on the subject, if you havent changed your routers default password or secured the wireless, youre playing with fire. :evil:
