I'm using it because I have an old computer kicking around and so it's saving me from spending $90 on a router. :dunno:

Doesn't have to be an "uber" home network, if you wanted to run your own FTP server to do fileshares, this is probably the easiest secure way to do it. Running an FTP server on your primary computer is a horrible idea from a security standpoint.


Also, www.clarkconnect.com provides free DNS services so if you had registered your own domain name you could point it at your clarkconnect box for free. Even has dynamic DNS in case you don't have a static IP at home.
