        Julian: There isn't much that I can *think* to add. If knowing which
    LAN cards I use will help, they're the usu stuf, a dc (forget which chip)
    and a Realtek. I admit these aren't superstars, but I just slapped NAT
    box together from what was a simple workstation. The IPFW firewall script
    is the unmodified 'open' config, that is:

    00050 99654 49243070 divert 8668 ip from any to any via dc0
    00100 112 26392 allow ip from any to any via lo0
    00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
    00300 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
    65000 195218 98282299 allow ip from any to any
    65535 0 0 allow ip from any to any

        Again, I can even live w/ some overhead due to sub-optimal hware.
    I only write bec the FBSD NAT speed is less than 30% of XP standalone
    speed ! Later....Jet
