A Pentium is _so_ overkill as a home firewall! My Cyrix 233 is the firewall only because that is the oldest, slowest box in the house. If this thread's original poster can run X on a 386/33 with 16MB RAM, then it's more than adequate as a home IP masquerader & firewall. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, CNN, Larry King Live | +------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
