You are free to use any or all of the text in there in your how-to. I did not use PICO, because I wanted the 486 I was using as a router to also run Samba and apsfilter. This allows it to act as a SMB server (drop box between my wife's Bill95 box and the BSD network) and to present a Postscript printer interface to the network (even though my home printer is a lowly HP ink jet). But the idea holds nevertheless. Bud Dodson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
