Yeah I will be having ISDN 128K installed next week, and this is the reason
I'm getting more paranoid. Several people I trust who know a lot about Linux
and stuff have suggested exactly what you do, to use an old 486 as a
firewall. What's NAT? Why do I need it?
Yeppers I'm convinced I will be better off that way. So how do I hook them
together? Tie them up with a hub and ethernet cards, having the ISDN working
off the 486 and the ws using the internet via the ethernet, like:
<-----> Internet <---> 486 {ethernet} <---> Workstation
?
Cheers
James
