I'll 2nd that recommendation. I've used IPCop for many years now, and am very happy with it. It can be run on a wide array of minimal software. If you have an old W98-era PC (266Mh or so), that'd make a perfect IPCop box. Just add a NIC or 2, and you're good to go. Matthew A Coulliette wrote: >

well acronis is a good disk backup/image utility, and you can make a backup and alteriut for 15 days for eval, then after that you cant make any new ones, but you can still restore the ones you made. On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 8:53 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Alexander, I do plan to attend as usual.  A re
