Ding ding!  We may have a winner!

I've pretty much given up on finding an all-in-one SOHO
Firewall/NAS/Remote Gateway.  But thanx to Damien McKenna, I have found
a solid NAS device with FTP-SSL/TLS** access:

**FileZilla makes an excellent, easy-to-use, FTP-SSL/TLS client.

They are available for $279 from NewEgg.COM:

Note, the $50 cheaper DS-106e/j versions are _not_ the same, they do not
offer FTPS support, only FTP.  It also offers both USB and eSATA drive
support, as well as the internal SATA.  And it has a GbE.

They only offer 100 shared folders and 128 user accounts, but that's
fine to start IMHO.  Ironically enough, not much more is offered in
their $600, 4 drive versions (1,024 user accounts, but still only 100
shared folders).

I think I'll just pair this with a cheap firewall (or maybe a dual WAN
firewall) to start.

The world is in need of solutions.  Unfortunately, people
seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
that has nothing to do with finding an actual solution.
