The Vectron Blackhawk is a remote control UFO that hovers, dives and climbs with great ease. 4 years in development, it uses the latest US Air Force technology.

The surrounding ring features an LED display into which you can program up to 4 separate 30 character messages. These can be changed while the Blackhawk is flying. Additional green LEDs run along the top and bottom of the ring.

I'm sure this is a problem which plagues all of us with more basic networking hardware,

The 'dropping out' of the router.

What I refer to here is those annoying times when for no apparant reason you have to phsyically power off, and then power on your ADSL modem, or Router.

For several years now I have used a SmoothWall Linux firewall to protect my LAN from outside attacks.
