I hate to see a good horse put down, so I love to "repurpose" old hardware. Everyday I use my 486 for the same things it has done for 15 years. So I agree performance IS important, and security is MORE important. I just don't want to see a good security solution abandoned. We need security in depth. And that includes a strong external firewall like LEAF/Shorewall. Paul Rogers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
