Yippie (I hope) So does this mean you can hook up a machine that routes one or more subnets to this device ? If so before this is done does this mean a heap of utilities such as their 'firewalll' and 'telnet' etc have to be disabled or not? ###### ps I am used to an old-fashioned setup where one just put a firmware (for the ppp device) in /lib/firmware and load these at boot (pppoE or pppOATM script) and execute a routing/firewall script. Is this methodolgy transfer- able to the 'ethernet-bridge' without so-called firmware loading? #-------- Any recipes where this kind of setuphas been implemented ( (ii.e. using a modern low-cost-adsl2-firewall-router-modem-network-appliance-thingie) on a blfs-running maching routing multiple subnets would be gratefully received. luxInteg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
