Big thanks to many! Not in any order but how I'm finding them in
my mail archive, and I know I'll leave out some. Especially jack at
monkeynoodle, guitarlynn at kscable, charles at steinkuehler, jnilo at
sourceforge, mschalit at pacbell, mds at helices, mhnoyes at sourceforge,
ray at comarre and many others that host supporting web pages, reply to
posted questions....
I have lurked here for a couple of months and have added a couple
of cents or a question now and then. My system is an old Compaq Prosignia
66Mhz 486DX with 48Mb RAM, two ne200 0 compatible NICS and a single 3 1/2
floppy drive. It is so sweet to be getting a useful firewall out of that,
it was a killer machine in it's hay days. I have gotten to work remotely
for my employer, so on a cable modem I sit in my basement in Missouri and
work for my employer in Virginia. The last thing I want is for my VPN
connection to corporate to be the access point that some one uses to get
into the system. That is one of the primary reasons for the firewall. Now
although I've told you my hardware, I'd be hard pressed to tell what
version of LRP I'm using. Got most of my material from Charles and think
it would be a Dachstein (sp?) floppy based system. I know that I use
1.68Mb floppies.
What I trying to say here is that I have visited so many web
sites, downloaded so many images and executables so that this M$ box could
make initial boot floppies and such that I'm not sure what I've got. What
I have done is zip up a messages file and a capture of the boot screen text
that I'd gladly mail to anyone that wants to contact me and take a look. I
am trying to be sensitive to those that "pay for their downloads", as I
heard on the list.

What I trying to do is not log some lines that keep showing up in
my messages. I believe these to be either net-bios related messages or VPN
keep alives being broadcast from the corporate VPN connection. I can not
just turn all of that off as I need to map local drives to corporate
assets. However if I can tell the firewall to ignore or not log these I
will have met my goal.
