While I sit patiently waiting for our VDSL rollout (still 2 - 3 years 
off) my only economical option is permanent 56k dialup modem.  A 
SonicWall would be great, but I still need a device to control the modem.

Is it viable/feasible to install a PCI modem in an "original" Qube, 
upgrade the software config to that of a Qube2, and remove everything 
"bad" for a firewall?

Cheers,  Malcolm
