well, this is all off-topic but it so happens that I'm also subscribed to
the IP-MASQ mailing list, and..
all the stuff Mr Morgan touts can be done by Linux with IP masquerading,
and yes, you only will need one IP address.. (and it's pretty easy, I've
seen people on the IP-MASQ list do their access with a Linux box on a LAN
and a PPP connection, thus giving everyone on the LAN transparent Internet
access..)
of course this 602proINTERNET thing comes with tech support and all that,
but heck, this mailing list is tech support enough for a lot of people..
so i wonder how much this product actually costs and how many people are
gonna buy it..
