Just an aside: I doubt he's setting it up for dialup access for 35 computers (at least, I hope not ;). I've got a Pentium 133 with 64MB here running RH8.0 and shorewall for sharing our DSL (pppoe) connection among 10 users and it works perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that while downloading ISO images and seemingly using the entire bandwidth (~170KB/s), the other users here didn't even feel the slowdown. -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
