| 206065 | 2004-01-08 08:05:00 | Hi, i am just curious as to which is better for the computer. I know PCI dsl modems like to suck some resources out of the computer. Some people say USB makes gamin a spikey. And i guess using a router thru ethernet uses 5/8s of f*** all to run So what are advantages/disadvantages of each one |

If a built in hub is included, easy networking and ADSL sharing Hardware firewall for incoming packets (NAT addressing) Never disconnect, even if you shut down the PCs. USB and PCI are a security problem as they require a well configured software firewall to protect you. |
