Linux can be a terrific "poor man’s" router. It takes a little more startup configuration than a typical

hardware router, but once it is going, very little will stop it, at least in our experience. We’ve been using

the router setup detailed below in production for six months now (a few months more worth of

pilot-testing), and the only faults we’ve encountered were either service-provider related or due to

water-soaked cables -- unbelievable, but true, and a really long story I won’t get into here!
