Ok... so.... If I have a cap of a certain speed up and down.. As a single person I could saturate that line with no overloading and everyone would be happy... yet if I saturate that _SAME_ cap split up into streams behind NAT or MASQ'ing it causes overload??? Last I checked NAT and MASQ don't add that much packet overhead. What am I missing here?
I've been playing console systems since the days of the atari and I can't ever recall a public recall of a component on one of these systems much less bugs that were this disastrous to the stabiloty of the console. Is this from rushed deployment you think or is it the pressure of bigger better graphics and sound? I forsee more of these bugs to be found though I think Sony will be quick to stomp them out. Its still really scary to think this is happening to the machines designed for one purpose only.
I will vouch for this comment as well. I have been a proud user of a 3c892 for 2 years. A few more nifty features he forgot to mention are: Network Address Translation aka natd. Netbios Filtering to keep your windows boxes from initiating unwanted calls Built in DNS Server. You can program in a group of hosts in its local table to resolve off of. One feature that had been missing until the latest firmware was "Dial -IN" support. Now for any of you who want to set up a B channel for someone to dial into your network it can be done now as well. All in all its a great ISDN Router with few to no flaws. The price is well worth it in the long run. and at 1 foot long and with a 4 port hub you can't beat the footprint.
What does this mean for the 700/800 series machines and the porting effort there? I myself own 2 700 series machines that I would like to have Linux running on. Now true I wouldnt mind buying a J7000 but I think economically isn't there going to be more likeliness of people buying older Nova class and the K,R,D, and B series?
Does this mean that PA-RISC is starting to shape up as a possible reality? Being an HP-UX admin I can tell you that the hardware this thing is run on is capable of a lot of good to the Linux world especially in the SMP areas if it is chosen to pursue. Right now the N Class machines are the model for the eventual IA64 deployments on HP servers. This seems like a good opportunity to make a impact quick with porting Linux over to PA-RISC. Thats just my feelings though.
I dont agree with this. I feel the initial idea was that Linus didnt like the choices and was powerless to change them himself. NOT that he wouldnt pay for good code. with linux even if it costs money _EVERYONE_ has the power to fix it if they want to.

I might have missed it in the list but I could swear the NeoGeo was nowhere to be found.
Except for its horrid cost it was a great console system

Umm isn't this like a little old just to be making news now?

One more thing I forgot to mention
There ARE international versions of this router as well.
