It seems just about everyday I have a new e-mail from security@utk.edu sending me a link to a crappy video. I usually delete them, but today I decided to humor them and check one out...I have never seen anything so stupid. If you want, you can take a look at all the video crap they've been sending me.

I love the links, esp the link to using linux as a firewall. Use a 486 and ISA nics. LOL, that site is outdated.

I use Freesco (not even mentioned) on a pentium 300 PC using 2 PCI nics and a switch for my lan of 3 PCs. Nothing gets in or out without my knowledge.

Sounds a hell of alot more intelligent than the unintelligable southern accent 65% of the student base has.

FreeSCO isn't really all that great. I used it for a long time. It's great for what it is (a replacement for a $50 Linksys), but it's TERRIBLY limited for the horsepower that most people give it. I replaced mine with a Gentoo box, will never look back.

MASQ table overflow. Devs confirmed that it was a problem with their kernel that they can't fix. Therefore, things such as Bittorrent will quickly amount to the router dying until a reboot.

How is using a 486 a bad idea? It has the same idea as what you have. Most people have change to spare for an older computer like a 486 compared to a PII... Whats is so irrational about using a 486 with ISA nics? Not like you got T3 or anything..
