It would be very easy to swap inside and outside interfaces. It might make things worse. It might make things better. Might not be any change at all as there is still a memory move involved as long as the Rhino is in use. But the rhythm of the data transfer may be different and data rates may improve. Will never know until its tried. There is nothing seriously wrong with the performance of ipfirewall. As for "spending money" the Rhino-based card mentioned is one of those $10 to $20 super-cheapies every Office Depot, BestBuy, and Walmart stock. Watching at hamfests and "computer shows" one can purchase used Intel 10/100's for under $10. Possibly my best deal was 3 for $8 altho I bought some DEC Tulip-based cards for 3 for $5 recently. Surprisingly they all worked. Is best to shop for quality. That is why we are BSD users. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
