- Don't Do this it is expensive, and an over kill since the internet

- And morningstar's router has far better IP filtering than cisco or

- You can use an inexpensive router such as a Netblazer or Morningstar
- router, and a 56k DSU. We use morining stars PPP software router (works
- with most unix systems $700) and it has the best filtering capablities of
- any IP router I have used. It is one of the few routers I know that will
- allow filltering of incoming FTP or TELNET sessions (or any other TCP/IP
- protocols), but allows outgoing sessions to pass. There new hardware
- router is very small (about 2"x4"x5") and I think less than a pound and
- sells less than $1000. As for DSU's I can only recomend our own, we
- manufacture DSU's and CSU's for 56k through T3.
