i find nothing confusing about the miamidx nat config :)
but then i do have most of /etc/services in memory :)

me? :)

although i also have a Sun Ultra one, hp9000 A-Class server (800 series),
10 c64's, 3 bbc micros, 2 bbc masters, spectrums, ql's, acorn electron, dragon 32, 
atari xe's, lots of miggies, and my lovely hp9100b from 1968 :)

my turbo232 serial port for my c64 is on order, and i will soon host a site on one of 
em :d

well i find pcmcia eth on amiga pretty slow and on 030 you dont get much over 
200kb/second on it. however i did use my a1200 with silversurfer serial port for 
routing for quite some time, with no problems. anyway. im just temporarily using my 
laptop to do the routing atm until i get an ADSL router to replace my alcatel 
frog/sting ray.
