Re: switching from a Linux Server to Mac OSX

Not sure if you can swing the $...but stand alone is better. IMHO

Same idea here... except I have a Netopia.
http://www.netopia.com/en-us/equipment/routers/r9100/index.html

I set it up (point and click) a few years ago, and I haven't heard a pep put
of it yet. (no joke)

I stuck a little battery back up I picked up from the local office supply
they were getting rid of last years products.

Thank You,
