I can't wait to check out pf. I've just been too busy lately. It sounds
like it has all the best parts of ipf and ipfw in one package. Yummy! I had
a big problem with the early 3.0 beta's because ppp didn't work right. I
assume it's been fixed now. I'll prolly start installing it on my slim-PC
Monday and bring it by the meeting on Thursday.
Jake, you gonna come by? Long time no see.
