Some DSL modems (which use telephone lines) have built in NAT routers but

Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5100 here via POTS,

I've heard much talk of the necessity of a stand alone router, laced
with exhagerated comments about the insecurity of an onboard software
firewall, yet I've never been able to find anyone that could
successfully demonstrate this insecurity. In fact one blowhard once
claimed to be able to "own" any 9x system on the net, but was
predictably unable to back up his spew.

There go your delusions again. You must have been smoking the pot when we
had our little conversation and read into it what you wanted. You stupid
*clown* prove it to yourself one way or the other and stop whining.

You are an absolute jackass Bart. I should have never snatched your
worthless *heart* from you that day as you have been a fool from that
point.

I am in your face about it.
