Hi Roman,
The kernels are cooking nicely. I've got a 2.4.0 just sitting her waiting
on me to learn how to operate iptables so that I can start using it. As
yet I haven't read the material to figure out iptables and how to use them
to construct and run a good firewall. That kernel and above do not use
ipchains. Another great adventure.
