I really haven't been following this thread but the reference to the fixit floppies reminded me of the link that Luigi has on his dummy net site to a picobsd floppy that is a self contained router/bridge with extras such as bandwidth control. This way you don't have to change O.S.'s or even compile anything just download 1.4M and give it a try. http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ Plus the page, while focused on dummynet, is jam-packed with valuable general information for filtering, firewalls, bridging, etc. If you have already done this and I'm repeating or am answering a question that wasn't asked, please accept my apologies. I should pay more attention to the threads. ed ------------------------------------------------- EnContacto.Net - CafeMania.Net - InternetSalon.Org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
