I'd even say they're greatly overpriced, but they are about the best you can get. Of course it all depends on if you need that much router for what you are doing. If so, then they're worth it. If it's not a real intensive application, look at the Netopias (
www.netopia.com). I just configured a Netopia 6100 ADSL router with dial backup, VPN access, and mail server publishing. I think the whole thing went for about $500-$600. The thing even has a built in, configurable packet-filter firewall in addition to NAT.
