TWELVE years ago (press release March 20 2001), Comcast deployed Linux-based Sun Cobalt Qube appliances as CPE with their business-class Internet service, these provided firewall security, web caching, optional content filtering, an e-mail server, a web server, file and print servers.
This is a good idea At the time it may have been the "best" option, but that doesn't make it a good idea. I can't even begin to comprehend the number of support calls generated by providing CPE with those functions.
