If you use the wireless in the DSL modem, you'll be bypassing the BSD server. Which may be fine if the kids' computer(s) cant do wireless.

BSD box with 2 NICs ('wan' and 'lan') as well as a DLINK G520 PCI Wireless card (Atheros chipset) and make the BSD box the wireless AP. And throwing in a small flash IDE drive for faster bootups. _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome Commitment is active, not passive.
