I'd imagine that 2x 21143TD would cost just a teeny bit more than 3x Sis.
Personally, I would be more interested in a 2x Tulip model. SiS scares
me, too...

I'd take one... only need one, though. However, I also have friends who
might be interested. Come to think of it, I'm certain I know of a second
person who could really use one at that price.
I'm interested in two units, given that the SiS stuff works.
I have a feeling that ISPs would be interested, too.
Most internet access clients in this neck of the woods just don't get it
when it comes to firewalls. ("But XYZ Computing told me that NT is
secure... it asks me for passwords for everything, so it must be!")
I'd love to have a resource where I can blow away price/performance of
Watchguard units. :-)
