[ANSS-netops] experience with rt130 ethernet

[Mike Hagerty]

Mitch,
we've got most of our network (of RT130s) connected directly to public 
internet - in most cases we've poked
holes in our hosts' firewalls - and they've worked without any problems 
for over 5 years now.  I'd say the
ethernet interface is very robust.
