Does anybody know what sort of firewall support it has. Can it do packet filtering on the PPP inbound and outbound interfaces? Is the filtering good? Can you have proxy servers, etc? If you can point me to sources of information regarding using FreeBSD as a firewall, I'd be extremely grateful. Mike
