"Stateful" is such an unwieldy word. I prefer "stately." As in,
"AppleTalk AFP is a stately file transfer protocol".
(PS: Thanks, Patrick and Seth, I got my email worked out, and now
I can once again post deep wisdom such as this message. (-: I'll
probably be posting untimely replies to a lot of stuff now.)
As for freesco, I read the web site, and it looks a lot more expert
oriented than Coyote.
I'm continuing to improve the home network. I'm gradually figuring
out not to stick services on the firewall -- I set up a djbdns
server on a different machine, and last night I got dynamic DNS
working, with automatic updates, on a different machine. In
both cases, it seemed like they should be on the firewall since
they're network services. But they shouldn't.
