  FYI - depending on  your cable connection speed the BEFSR41 may not be
able to keep up.

   I've seen a BEFSX41 (it is quite a bit faster than the BEFSR) reduce
the download speed by a good 5 Mb/s or more on a 30 x 5 Mb/s cable
connection.

    Meanwhile a linux firewall with over 40,000 rules caused zero
degradation - on a 3.2 Ghz Pentium D box with 2 GB of memory.


    As speeds are getting half decent, some of the older (and newer)
cable routers may not be able to keep up.

   Not sure whose system you're on ... that is MAC locking - most dont
do that anymore I thought. They do lock to the MAC of the cable modem to
identify you're a customer.
