I was one of the people on vacation during the week of the last meeting
(centralug) so didn't realize it was cancelled. Just my luck (after
missing the past couple of meetings) I really wanted to go to this meeting,
and first went to the Centennial, then the Holiday Inn. Oh well!
Is the firewall topic going to be on next month's agenda? I hope so, cause
I'm very interested in this issue. I've read some material about a Linux
based firewall app "Fireplug". Has anyone heard of this, and if so, would
you recommend it. You can get an evaluation copy at www.edge.fireplug.net.
The blurb on the software from the site is: "This software will allow you
to turn a very minimally configured consumer PC (you know that old 486,
currently being used as a doorstop) into a basic stand alone Internet
firewall, complete with address translation, proxying, and IP packet
forwarding." I'm thinking of using a Dell PII 266 with 2.1 gig as a PC
dedicated to a firewall; is this sufficient? I was considering using an
IBM Pentium 133 with 1.1 gig, but thought the processor was too slow and
would create a bottleneck to get info to/from the internet on a SMALL
network - are my concerns valid or is this P133 sufficient? and you can get
a one month evaluaation copy).
