Was you point to bash the idea of using a hardware firewall because I think you just justified it :laugh:

Hardware ftw.......embedded, full workstation or otherwise (hiring a bum with a pitchfork to stand guard around your house) are all better than software firewalls.

P.s.
just made a cool wifi hotspot using my m0n0wall today...read about it here
