Currently, m0n0wall is an Ethernet-only product - no ISDN, dialup modem nor USB device support (AFAICT). It would be nice to add some of these interfaces, especially for redundancy - many companies have an ISDN or dialup link as a backup for when their main link goes down. Many, many home and small business users have USB ADSL modems supplied to them by the dopey twats at their ISP. USB is meant for keyboards and mice, not modems! (Yes, USB ADSL support is a good idea for m0n0wall.) -- Regards, Hilton Travis Email: Hilton at QuarkAV dot com Manager, Quark AudioVisual Phone: +61-(0)7-3343-3889 Quark Computers Phone: +61-(0)419-792-394 (Brisbane, Australia) http://www.QuarkAV.com/ Open Source Projects: http://www.ares-desktop.org/ http://www.mamboband.org/ Non Linear Video Editing Solutions & Digital Audio Workstations Network Administration, SmoothWall Firewalls, NOD32 AntiVirus Conference and Seminar AudioVisual Production and Recording War doesn't determine who is right.
