And, with all of the definitions and contentions that people have, is a gateway/firewall server, as a single point of access to the Internet, and, also, as a separate device, a modem/router, that allows four connections from behind it, which modem router includes a coinfigurable firewall, and other configurable settings, not, by the various definitions given, qualified to be regarded as a "Multi-seat PC"? And, as for the bright spark who claimed that UNIX has shown that it is no good for networking, prithee explain on what platform, most of the the Internet servers ran, from the establishment of the Internet. So much metaphorical male ovine faeces. And, that is not directed at Lisi; just at the people trying to impose their dubious opinions and classifications, of what is, and, what has been, and, of what should be. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
