For those who think that these boxes are overpriced, I submit the following item (which I *just* ordered) from SMC:
Platform independent
4-port 10/100 Mb/s dual-speed switch
built-in print server
RS-232 COM port for fail-over dial-up or modem connection
Firewall
Internet access for up to 253 computers
Original price, $149 - discounted to $89, further reduced to $69 after $20 mail-in rebate.
These are available from www.mei-microcenter.com - I have no exp. with this unit (yet), but that is a great price, IMHO.
Just a pointer for those pulling their hair out trying to get a workstation on a DSL/Cable modem connection (or with friends who are)...
