touche' if it's true

my gateway box (well, the one the email from this pc goes out on anyway,
there are others in the room) is a scheap netgear router. it can't run
sub7 or any other windows program.
perhaps one of the pc's are, but that's a different story. the dmz for the
router is a 99% neglected old linux box that I don't much care about. I
don't have any windows boxes acting as either gateways or dmz's.

you are right, I should nuke it. thanks.
