Oops. Sorry all. It should be http://www.dsmagic.com/products/butterfly/butterfly_universal.htm. Thanks Joseph. To Mark's question - at the moment, Butterfly "hopes" you have a working firewall into which we can plug our simple redirecting rules. These rules redirect all outgoing http traffic to the local Apache server. The sample firewall we supply is all-or-nothing (either you can/can't use the Internet) and is probably only safe for use behind a router or as a network bridge.
