[Rule-list] slow on the list

[hairylarry]

Hi,

I've been checking every day. I guess the list 
just got slow. I got messages today from Eugene 
and Richard so I think it's working.

I have an idea I would like to throw out. A 
custom slinky install to use an older system as a 
firewall. I am running ipchains but I believe 
iptables is now the preferred solution. 

This would connect a LAN to the internet through 
dialup or broadband network connection. This 
might be better to implement as two installs. 

1. For a dialup system where a network card and 
modem are needed.

2. For a broadband system where two network cards 
are needed.

Any input on this? I hope to work on this next 
month.

Thanks,

Larry
