I too am aware of this other NAT/printserver mini thingie:)
But isn't this a bit out of the realm of the stated purpose of STN???
In such a case a "full blown" or specialized version of Linux running on
another machine would be the best solution rather than attempting to
pile all this work on "an old dust collector 386/486"(as per the product
description)......But then again....What do I know??? 8^P

The more I use Linux, the harder Windows becomes to use. Point and click
software is too restrictive and difficult to do anything productive
with.
