I'm looking for an innexpensive DSL router or firewall to made a PPPoE
connection and route or bridge multiple static IP addresses.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I recomment Fortigate firewalls from Fortinet. They support both transparent
mode (bridge) and NAT mode (routing).

Out of the box you get SSL VPN(in NAT mode), PPTP VPN, IDP/IDS, antivirus,
and antispam functionality.

The Fortigate 60 got 4 configurable interfaces and one 4 port switch.

I am going to research the Fortigate firewalls mentioned in another
reply but just
to add 2 cents. I have owned 3 LINKSYS router/firewall/switch devices
and while
they may not have as many features as the Fortigate firewall, they do
the job at
a fraction of the cost (if we are talking about a home system).
Currently I am using
the WRTP54G which does a fantastic job of supplying secure wireless,
plus 4 port
Ethernet switch/router, and 2 VOIP phone ports. It cost something like
$150 with a
$50 refund from Vonage if cost is an issue.

I have been testing out VOIP since the early 90's and it has finally
come of age. Vonage
includes all US dialing and receiving calls, using any phone, for
$24/mo and the quality
of the sound is better than a "plain old phone" line, plus I can listen
to my 60 stored
voicemails from anywhere on the Net, it supports caller-ID, 911
dialing, and no need to
change phone numbers everytime you move, if you don't mind having a
"non local" number
from your friends perspective....
