Re: Can I use this card?

I do my own NAT and the basic NAT firewall is on with address pools and all
the static routes. internal DNS lookup zones and the works = ) 8 Port switch
to add more PC's and two more PC's that remote in VPN from about five miles
away.

I was lucky/fortunate enough to be a part of these newsgroups which helped
me set up my NAT and RRAS I have a nice tight little set up here (accept for
the router part) with enough power and I run my own mail server too. All
secure, all up to date with anti virus on the mail server itself, PTR's and
SPF records also. I do not spam and have an awesome ecommerce site (well in
my opinion :) )

Maybe my ISP will do more upgrades soon and I can get past the 1Mbps mark
upstream.

Thanks very much Herb!!
