But now we're drifting into topics that probably fit the MaX list better. If your goal is to use a computer as a firewall, your first consideration needs to be the dual NIC, as I see it. Without that, you're going nowhere. I don't know if you're going to get that in the compact form factor. Maybe one of the other all-in-ones, maybe. Tim -- Tim Larson <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< Info.
