*nods* I rather like the little modem-cum-wireless-and-wired-router thingy I
 got from Qwest this last time.  Wifi security is *turned on by default*,
 and the CD you get includes cookbook instructions for setting it up without
 the use of a Windows box.  Works like a charm; I haven't had any issues
 with it other than the fact that Qwest resets our IP every once in a
 while... every week or two, I think.  Full-house firewall, DMZ, QOS, whole
 nine yards.  At least as good as the stock firmware on an WRT54GL... 

I gotta wonder what kind of firmware the thing runs... it almost acts like
it's running Linux, but I'm not quite smart enough to figure out for
sure... it's a 2-Wire 2700 HG... Google was not much help.  

I really should re-enable ddclient again....
