RE: Networking via router?

Kidding (I think <g>) aside...

Assuming the IPCop becomes the firewall, and the hub/switch is what connects
all my PCs to the internet (and, optionally, to each other), it seems that
logical place for the Gigafast router is on the garage sale table.

I think I'm getting a little lost on this thread, tho.  Vern mentioned that
it's possible that the Gigafast might have the option to function as a
switch.  Adam indicates that the router can be used to network the PCs in my
home.  Is there a functional difference between router, hub, and switch?
