Re: [ossig] Firewall

[Uwe Dippel <udippel@uniten.edu.my>]

There is only one: *the* one:

http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/

runs from floppy, cdrom, harddisk, memory stick 

Latest kernel (sorry, currently only 2.4.20), ash, iptables, blabla.
Personally, I'm running a few of these. So you can ask for help.
They also have two very helpful newsgroups.
