Tell your friend that I like them sufficiently for home users that it is mandated by policy in my company that any user requiring VPN access to the company network from a high speed network must have a Linksys, D-Link or whatever in place prior to to access being granted. I also insist they use the Cleaner, AdAware, Spybot and then install WinPatrol before the connection is granted and have CD's with the installation programs and instructions jsut for them to borrow.

It keeps the dross out......
