thx to you for your reply Josh... i will look into the two packages
you mentioned, and visit the forum at gauntlet.org (heh, my googling
missed that entirely!)... i know the Webforce firewall won't be a
mission-critical solution or anything of that sort, but i thought w/ a
bit of patching up it would suffice for a non-critical home network,
and a fun project to revive my aging o2... also, i must admit, the
screenshots i have seen from the Webforce firewall show the *very*
cool GUI that SGI developed for this project, and probably display one
of the coolest network traffic stats i've seen. thx for the info, i
will dig over at that forum and if any interesting bits come to the
surface i will report them here in the group for others..!
