I use GuideDog very successfully. Simple to configure and working very successfully for me. You just have to have ifup restart guidedog when you get a new connection. If you have many applications using non-standard ports, it would probably get awkward, as it's simple to configure, e.g., ftp, but a little more difficult to configure app "x" using port 6104. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
