[luau] Configuring Router

[Taylor Cody Civ SAIC/PETS]

I hope there isn't any Road Runner informants listening.  ^_^  I have a
netgear RT314.  It is a 4 port gateway router.

I can SSH into my Linux machine and telnet back into the router.  I can
check logs on the router, spoof a mac on the lan, forward ports, set rules,
watch traffic, and blah blah.  It's fairly cheap ($90-$115) and you can do
quite a bit with it.  
CON: It's manual is big and I don't want to spend my time learning advanced
command line functions for a home gateway router.  I think I would be allot
happier with a free Linux router.  Cody

 How many use RR and have a router (Linksys) or do you use a computer
as a router?  What are the pros and cons.
