[COLUG] Linux Firewall

[Steve]

I'm making progress.  Thanks for all the help thus far gents.  I can
finally get the FA311 module to load (natsemi and pci-scan).  I then get
a very odd error.  And I quote "something wicked happened" to the
natsemi w/ some funky error 85c63c75.  I'm looking in to that now.

I've been having odd buffer issues with OpenBSD.  I work from home most
of the time and use a Cisco VPN package on my Win2k work laptop.  If I
gen a lot of traffic (db app or several java apps) in a short amount of
time, it just locks up.  No ping, no nothing.  So I'm just looking for a
more stable alternative.

I haven't tried Knoppix yet on that box, can't boot from the CD
(bought brand spanking new in '94).  The hottest box at the time was a
Pentium 66 (didn't have the cash for that racehorse back then).

I'm still trying to figure out how to wedge a NIC in my Commodore 64 and
Atari 400.  Think they'll run NetBSD?  I hear it runs on anything.
Woohoo!

One other quick q about LEAF/Bering.  Which intfc comes up as e0 and e1.
PCI first then ISA?

Thanks again!
Steve
