dsl and the confusedness the howto brings about various protocols

[Scott Howell]

Perhaps so, but I wouldn't choose this route. I believe that two nics will
prevent a greater wrisk of break-ins than one. I also believe two nics can
give one a greater flexability in setting up their network.

I can see lots of fun things with 3 nics. I think as little as nics cost,
there's not much of a compelling reason to use only one.

Maybe I am just entirely to anel about security, but then I've got reasons
to be, but no luckily no attacks as best I can tell, but still many
reasons.
