   Which is similar to my setup:   
      
   Internet -> AT&T Fiber Modem -> pfSense box -> My network   
      
   Granted my pfSense box is an old HP ProLiant DL360 G3 1U server, but it is is   
   big enough for me: 3GB RAM, dual Xeon 2GHz processors, 125GB storage (RAID 1),   
   and two GBit network interfaces :)
