Can you scrounge an old PC? You only need 16MB RAM and a 500MB HDD for a great masquerading firewall. (A great reason to take it off of your box: if you shut your box down (for what *ever* reason), others can still access the web.) If you can find 2 ISA NICs, then a 486 is all you need, or if a Pentium/K6/Cyrix, then you can use the eth1 from your current box. (A pentium-class box is more likely to be bootable off CD, and that's a big plus.) -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, | !
