Doesn't even need a HD, it'll fit on a floppy boot disk. All you have to have in it is the modem & network card, and if you set the bios, don't even need video or a keyboard. It isn't as configurable as natd, though. You're right, I'd never pay for Wingate for my personal use, and I'd NEVER buy MS PROXY!! Pricing is kind of funny: for what you'd pay for a "good" mail server program under windows, you can buy another PC, put FreeBSD on it & run Sendmail & QPopper, and still be better off. Wacky.
