It is more of an internal 'super-server' on a home LAN. You know, the kind that serves up (at least I plan on it) SSH, NFS, DNS, SMTP, POP3/IMAP, HTTP, NTP, NNTP, DHCP, plus Squid & MySQL as well. I realize w/ all that stuff on it I will have my hands full, but some of us home users don't have an unlimited number of machines to put separate services on. I mainly want to have some added security of filtering out any known bad packets from bogus addresses at a minimum, in case anything gets past my border firewall. I intend to have some degree of firewalling on the client desktops as well, eventually. Thanks, Monte _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
