What kind of WAN connection? > Second, do the Soekris boards really not have TOD clocks? <snip> I don't have a net5501 on hand for testing at the moment, so I cannot verify any of that information.

Take a look at dnsmasq.static which should be on your key disk. If it's not, copy the file from /stat/etc to /mnt/kd. There are examples of persistent dhcp entries in there. dnsmasq is responsible for dns and dhcp functions (and can do tftp as well with some configuration changes). dnsmasq is well documented on the internet as well, but I did try to make some good examples of what is possible in the dnsmasq.static file. > In the same vein, I'd like to set up the TFTP daemon to auto-generate the > files it serves up on-the-fly according to scripts and patterns (so that SIP > phones like the Sipuras can be auto-configured).

If you use Arno's iptables firewall, it's fairly straight forward and well documented. If you use astfw you can create your own iptables configuration by copying the existing astfw to your keydisk and writing iptables rules yourself. There are many resources for writing iptables rules on the internet. See what you can find with google. Actually if you check the mailing list for Astlinux, you'll probably find examples of this in the archives.
