Jacob,
Thanks for the OpenBSD help! Have a system up and running with almost no
trouble (well, I'm used to slackware :-). The BSD fdisk took a little bit
to get used to but after that I was off and away. The move from ipchains
to ipfilter and ipmasq to ipnat was pretty smooth as well, seems to make a
great firewall.
Thanks again for the help, much appreciated!
