But I prefer flat configuration files and ssh. I find things are
much easier to remember when typed or pasted in and the way FreeBSD
.confs are commented helps me learn.
(I realise I wouldn't _have_ to use the GUI in m0n0wall.)

Hmm, I'm thinking of leaving another old laptop connected to the
serial port permanently running a custom system health display ;)

I already spent more than I could afford on the Soekris; even had
to make a null serial lead out of two old mice leads!
(Haven't tried it yet.)

May do, but not just yet. I'll probably try 5.2.1 first and rely
heavily on the details at http://www.xinu.nl/unix/soekris/net4801/
(Thanks Edwin.)

All that technology but I can't email you because you've blocked my
ISP because 195.188.213.5 found in dnsbl.sorbs.net. Damn spammers...
