Your DSL security is only as good as you and your security
practices.I've had my DSL for over six years....... Even tho' my router
has all the things you mentioned, I still run firewall or IDS AND
anti-virus on all internal machines. On the Linux box, Fire starter is
a decent firewall. I use port forwarding for specific services like FTP
from the router to specific machines. I check my security logs
(including e-mail) and ban any offending IPs. It is good to be
paranoid....it will keep you from getting infected or compromised.
