Not me, sorry.

Just got one off eB* for a sweet price will let you know how it goes.

It's firewall, right?

[uxbod]

Correct.  Its part of Cisco's latest security line.

anyway, as far as i'm aware there is no way you attach this to adsl, you will have to have a router in front of it. They are dam good firewalls, so you won't be sorry you bought one.

£100 brand new in sealed box. I have a Vigor2800 so can use that as the router if it will not support it.  Am going to switch off the WiFi on the Vigor and use a Aironet 1130AG instead.  Its only a home business network, but I like to keep my finger in with new network technologies aswell.
