No web-based gui that'll do that in the Debian repository.... you can install Webmin onto a stripped down Debian (or do without the gui). As this is a Debian list I hesitate to suggest IpCop (but that's why I often use for similiar job specs). <snipped> > > Just an olde P4 desktop, I think it was from the 16th century, may be > early 17th. More than capable of doing the job in my experience.

File a bugreport for the package description perhaps? It 'seems' the support 3.x series:- http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/n/netscript-2.4/netscript-2.4_5.2.12_changelog <snipped> > > Just trying to get the tor relay to not cause the adsl modem to fall > over.
