notebook, the Magnia SG20 Wireless Mobility Server is the
ideal way to get full-featured wireless networking
capability via the optional wireless LAN PC card (wireless
LAN card not included). The server comes complete with a
firewall, file/print sharing, Internet and printer gateway,
web caching, content filtering, backup capabilities, email
services, and remote administration – all at an affordable
price.

- 128 MB SDRAM
- 20 GB (2.5-inch) hard disk drive
- 10/100 integrated Ethernet controller
- 56K V.90 DSP modem

Hmmm call me crazy but there's no way you could pay me to have all of those services on my firewall

Leaving the firewall detail out of it, its basically a server in a box.
Not very useful as a fileserver with a measly 20 gigs, kinda slow but its a server so not a big deal... would work OK as a print server assuming you're not printing really huge docs all the time.

I certainly wouldn't want to run all of those services at the same time, you'd hurt the poor little fella

Hmm. Let's take all your data and store them on an inherently insecure system.

yeah, then we'll hack into it..and then sell you some security updates!! cool plan.
