Re: [foxboro] Best way to connect to the Business Network

Firewalls run in computers running 2 NIC cards (one inside and one =
outside) acting like gateways. Some IS people will tell you that it's =
the only secure way. A router is fine as far as I'm concerned, =
especially within an organization (as opposed to the internet). The =
router will limit access to only specific ports and services configured =
and it will have better throughput than a full fledged gateway.

Hi list,

In regards to a post a while back regarding connecting an AW51 to the
business network, it was stated you should use a router or a firewall =
not a
level III switch. I was wondering if anyone has any input on the Pro's =
and
Con's of using a Firewall Vs a Router? Also any input on what class of
Device would be recommended, what option are important and what options =
are
not? Basically any and all input on this subject would be appreciated.

Thanks Tom Lemieux
