Thanks for the link to IPCOP Jim! I've just skimmed the docs and it
looks great. Haven't tried either yet but IPCOP looks better than
FREESCO in that it uses a newer kernel and iptables whereas FREESCO
still uses chains (don't quote me on that though).

I just found out that the floppy on the old box I wanted to use doesn't
work though. What a pain ... Hopefully I can find a way to install from CD.

Thanks again for the info!
