Why use a PC when a 68k Mac will do it just as well and you can stay with Macs? Or use an early model PCI PowerMac? I'm running my home network behind a IIci running NetBSD as a firewall/router with my ADSL connection. NetBSD comes with IP Filter which has IPNAT so you can route and firewall in one package. -- Randy OS X - UNIX for the rest of us NetBSD - I got it up and running! -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
