Try Bering at leaf.sourceforge.net. It is a floppy based firewall that uses the 2.4 kernel. As far as *BSD being more elegant, that is your opinion. Users should try *BSD, and then try Linux and decide for yourself. The fact that OpenBSD comes IPsec built-in and ready "out of the box" is very convenient. Freeswan works very well from my experience, but it does require kernel patching as you've mentioned. Steve
