Maybe, but this is personal use, and nowt to do with the company. I have my
old PC loaded with Suse 7.3 (yes a 2.4 kernel). My brother suggested Freesco
(= Free 'cisco' - linux router +firewall on a floppy) but I prefer the full
~UX route.

OK, I'll check out the howto's. When I'm done (we don't have DSL yet, but I
wanted to be ready!) I'll give you the IP address and you can play!

Thanks!
