Well, my company is switching to a full Internet connection at last :-(

But well... the usual stuff: "we want firewalls and everything must be secure
and everything". OK, OK, within limits I might help them.

What I'd like to know: I've never really used and trusted upon the FreeBSD
ipfw stuff. Could anyone give me a little story on their experiences,
whether one can hang their pacemaker on it safely etc :)

Thanx,

Mark
