[NTLUG:Discuss] LAN Planning

[Greg Edwards]

If you do ISDN spend a couple extra $$$ and get a good TA that provides 
NAT. I haven't seen anywhere that any xDSL devices do NAT.  This will 
give you a single 10BaseT with no proxy needed.  NAT provides alot 
simpler security control as you control which IP on your internal net 
sees traffic.

You can run the TA direct to a box and route from there or to a hub and 
allow all boxes direct (more or less) internet access.

Good luck.
