What can the modern PC-based router use to duplicate this nice combination of security and ease of editing? You can duplicate the security (and possibly make it better) with a write-once CD-R, but to make changes you have to write an entirely new CD. ReWritable CDs aren't a good idea precisely because they have no "write-protect tab". The same might go for a memory key, since there is no "write-protect tab" for a memory key.

...depends on your memory key.

There *ARE* flash-memory 'keys' that have write-protect switches. I have seen them in at least USB dongle and PCMCIA card form, and there are probably others.
