Huh? MS attempted to build a NT-based router several years ago and gave
up. There is no such animal. OTOH a Linksys router will cost $100-200 at your friendly local Fry's (or whatever) and will do everything required. I suppose I should admit a bias here since Linksys just got acquired by my employer, but actually we acquired them precisely BECAUSE they are such a good fit to this kind of requirement. They have competitors like Netgear who do the same kind of thing at the same price point, so you can take this as a generic recommendation. John "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ...

[...] The money for acquiring a broadband Internet connection for our humble little FBO is being mostly pooled together by the local EAA / homebuilt guys who are all quite the Linux and Apple zealots and hate Microsoft. A Windows-only broadband connection will be totally unpalateable to them. Well, it's true. Religious zealots often pay dearly for their irrational beliefs. By the way, if they'd tolerate even a single Windows box (the cost of which would be miniscule compared to the total cost of the Internet connection), they could hook up whatever other operating systems they want, using the Windows box as the network router.
