RE: diald slow to be useful...

Hi Mike,

This is basically what I'm using for the firewall (I've changed my Ip
addresses & trimmed out some port forwards & other junk).
It's based on a template I found on the internet, but I can't remember
where...

Using iptables makes it a fraction of the size of my old ipchains
firewall!

Regards,
Robert Jenkins.
