The Barricade combo hub/router (available from www.tigerdirect.com, among
others sources, for about $100 after rebate) provides excellent hardware
firewall protection and print server services, but supports only Ethernet,
not USB.

> Hi,
> I have a couple of cable modem questions:
> 1) Apparently it can be hooked into a network card, or a USB port.  I
don't have a network card...will it run just as good hooked into a USB port?

> 2) I have heard the best firewall protection is to purchase a broadband
modem router, and then I don't need as software firewall...can anyone shed
some light on that?
