[wellylug] Switch

[Mark]

Hi Lindsay,

It looks like an interesting and cost effective solution for SOHO

It does not say what type of firewall protection it provides, clearly it
provides NAT, but it may not provide pinhole support and so may
prevent running any services that can be access from outside the gateway.

It may, or may not provide stateful inspection etc which might limit its
usefulness.

Cheers
Mark
