Re: [Nolug] Using RH9 as a router and nat firewall

Somebody may want to correct me on this, but I've heard that it's not
a good idea to use your main machine as the firewall/router. It's
really easy to take an old 486 and set it up as a router using
freesco. It is easily able to handle the packet transmission speed of
cable or DSL.
