If you plan on having more than one computer connected to your cable modem I
would recommend you consider getting a router to function as your firewall.
It then depends on what you want to hook up behind it. I have an older ABS
tied to mine so I can stay wireless with my laptop. My son has his HP PC
tied to it and MY G4 Quick Silver is on it. I'm using an Asante Friendlynet
4 port router. Configures via a browser. As the old Navy saying goes, works
great, fails safe, drains to the bilge!
