Actually, we used it last year at the Durham Tech installfest and tried to do some network installs through it. It didn't fare so well; the installs were pitifully slow, much slower than the 100MBit network on both sides. This wasn't really due to iptables though, but the throughput limitations of the PCMCIA bus on that older laptop. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
