Greetings, I have had a Freebsd firewall (Older computer with (1) 3com 10Mb ethernet PCI card, and (1) 3 com 10/100 Mb ethernet PCI card). The firewall croaked on me (motherboard died). As a quick fix, I plugged in a Linksys BEFSX41. My Question is, should I build a new Freebsd firewall or just continue using the Linksys ? Throughput and security are my concern. I can have up to 20 machines on the LAN at one time using the internet, so traffic throughput is a factor. Anyway, my inclination is to build a new freebsd firewall, but don't want to do the work if the Linksys is good enough. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions. -Darryl
