I have looked into Freesco and actually had it running at one point. I am
wondering if you just used NAT or if you added any goodies yourself?
I am on a cable connection and currently use the NetBSD from www.dubbele.com.
The NEtBSD solution works...I guess as I don't know much of navigating thru
the filesystem. More comfortable with Linux I guess.
