I agree Linksys had no OBLIGATION to help out it's fledgling
WRT communities, but it sure would have helped.

To the point, sometimes you don't want a big box with moving parts
and lots of excess on it. You want something simple that uses
only 7 Watts with no moving parts that can do just a few tasks.
For that, the WRT is a good widget, very flexible.

That said, back to business, Sveasoft "Talisman" firmware is supposed
to be released on Monday. Hope that helps.

&gt; &quot;All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
&gt; pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
&gt; is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
&gt; drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.&quot;
