Re: [TCLUG:7088] configuring two network devices

[Gabe Turner <dopp@dopp.dsl.scc.net>]

They'll work great together, as long as you compile IP firewalling and masquerading
into your kernel (and all necessary device drivers of course).  Definitely go with
DSL.  For the price you can't beat it, and split between 3 people, the cost is trivial.If you need any help setting it up, I've seen numerous posts about this on the list.
