Well this would be just for my home network. I have a few boxes that I 
use and have this FBSD box do routing. If I do go ahead with a dsl line 
it will be attaced to this FBSD machine, but I forgot that I'll have to 
change my cabling. I use coax now, so I'll have to switch to UTP and get 
a hub. Hmmm, this may get a tad expensive.
