You have an isdn to your work station? if so why not throw up an old 486 with a distro
you know and trust setup to do nat and firewalling and run what ever you like on your

Just for the record, I currently have Redhat 7.x and a GeForce II AGP
card working fine. You have to download the drivers from the Nvidia site
for your distro version and/or compile them.

As for the setup there are a few ways you could do it, you can plug the 486 and the

On your side of the firewall you have a private network. There is an
