recommend hardware firewall

  Lots of good comments here.

   I have seen a befsx (newer than the befsr) which could not keep up
with a cable internet connection -  reduced d/l by 20% or so. This was a
nominal 30 Mb/s d/l and the router was definitely the bottleneck.

  The primary firewall, linux with over 30,000 rules has no such issue -
its a 3 Ghz Pentium D with 3com 905 C ethernet controllers.
