bring your current box if you like, although why a man of your talents needs one of us to set up networking is a mystery :-) Personally I prefer the ipcop in a separate box approach, mainly because it means never having to bother with modems on any extra boxes on my net, and not having to write my own firewall rules for the box that dials in, never having to configure any network beyond chosing dhcp. Suit yourself which way you go - If you want help with a ipcop box I can do that too. right hand - emerge gentoo left hand - install ipcop can still use a stick gripped firmly between the teeth to hit a third keyboard :) -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
