Fwd: Using BSD as filter
If you want a freebsd firewall that works well with comcast, try m0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/ It is well supported worldwide, from home users to corporate environments. It's small enough to run from compact flash, hard drive, even a live ISO with floppy. AND it's as easy to setup as any linkysys home router. Been using it for over a year in a corp environment as well as home.

Is this something that anyone could advise me of such as: 1) Which bsd software would be best for my purpose. I use packet filter. 2) I am interested in what the minimum speed and required memory might be to ensure the computer would not be a bottle-neck on the data coming in. Anything will do. I have had an OpenBSD box on Pentium I taking care of 100+ clients with a 10Mbit internet connection and 100Mbit lan. Right now I have a VIA 1Ghz with 256MB ram for the same purpose. 2) I am interested in using a different email software instead of Outlook Express. Does BSD have one available or could one be recommended? This is not related to the previous question. If you're running windows on your clients then you should look at alternative windows applications - thunderbird may be one. 3) I am interested in other software that would work with BSD also. For what purpose? See the ports collection. cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org X.509 Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/8D03551FFCE04F0C.crt Key ID: 69:79:B8:2C:E3:8F:E7:BE:5D:C3:C3:B1:74:62:B8:3F:9F:1F:69:B9 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
