Lewis,

I opted for the SBC Yahoo DSL package for $29.95/month and already think it
is  a good deal. I've communicated with a more senior tech this morning and
 confirmed the inability to filter on MAC addresses but they are planning
to  update their firmware in the near future to even include WAP security,
but I  suppose we all know what that may mean. <G>

Anyway, the firmware is flashable over the DSL connection, so we'll see.
You  know, I think it's one of those situations where try as you might to
investigate hardware beforehand, you always seem to learn much more after
you  own it.

BTW, I went to the Long Island blog site and signed up, saw a few posts and
am  anxious to get the Mozilla Blog client for my new ThinkPad. As much as
I've  despised MS in the past, I find myself liking the new XP software.
Once I get  a handle on it and get the system configured to my liking, I'm
going to create  a disk image, reformat and load eCS v1.1 and begin
experimenting with it. I  have a feeling it'll be a bit more involved (but
I'm used to that by now) but  I feel the need to bang my forehead some
more. <G>

Finally, I'm seeing some mention of SMC wireless routers and thought I'd
solicit opinions on which people are using and how they like their
hardware.

Later.
