Feasible as in "possible"? Maybe. But I think the real answer is: No. If I understand, IPCop would be running in a "virtual" space, sharing the hardware, etc, with other "virtual" devices, under the control of a "master". So, who has control when IPCop is "asleep". Not IPCop. I think that is your answer. joe a. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ IPCop-user mailing list [email protected] Manage your subscription or unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipcop-user
