A Quadra can be used under Mac OS for that purpose, as a router and
firewall.  However, considering that there is a cost for buying the software
(like IPNetRouter) and the energy cost of keeping the Quadra turned on for
this purpose, and considering that a dedicated router/firewall device from
Linksys or Belkin costs about $50 these days (with very low power usage), it
does not make sense.  Those small devices are designed just for this
purpose, so they are very easy to set up and use.
If that Quadra was also serving some other purpose (such as a data server or
web server), then it might (?) make sense.

[q] Quad 700 as firewall running Mac OS 8 or 7

2004-12-15 Thread dwight hines
Is anyone using Mac OS 8, or 7, as a firewall?
I've given up on the open source right now.  Even the geeks are having 
headaches getting it to work.
