Post #135,527 by orion 1/13/04 6:59:41 PM Reply	Thanks Looks like Smoothwall runs on Linux. I think I got and old 486 somewhere but do not have a spare monitor for it. Using PPPOE so I'll need the Roaring Penguin package too. I do not trust Zonealarm and instead use Outpost for a software firewall. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
