Still, it's true that the security of a gateway server is ONLY as good as the system administrator makes it (a beginners beware).
some routers are easily manipulated by adding modules for different ports. you can pretty much add anything you need.

I connect at my office through T1 :) and at home through modem, though we are working on getting cable.

My mother said "You must have a router in your head, you only let through the things you want". So I just connect the cable modem to one ear through cat5, and a cat5 out of my other ear into the PC. I must get a lot of DATA DUMPS, I spit out binary for up to 4 hours after I disconnect from my personal router.

for home i got dialup (for normal usage) and adsl for my web and mail servers. at work we are getting a frame relay link installed.. i don't know the full specs just yet, but since we've got an isp, its fast enough. as for the dialup side of things, i'm sick of hearing the handshaking so whenever i can i silence it.
regards,
mark.
