Yes FreeBSD is a great idea. A better solution would be to purchase THe OFfical FreeBSD 3.4(4 cd's) from http://www.cdrom.com http://www.freebsdmall.com It cost very little and worth the price for the CD instead of installing it via ftp on a 486. For a firewall soluton for your company try :- -The NetMax Firewall from (http://www.netmax.com) NetMAX FireWall's main features: All necessary software included and installed Complexities of Linux concealed Customizable default firewalls IP packet filtering Network address translation (NAT) Traffic Monitor Windows, Macintosh, and Unix clients supported Software only solution Looking forward to your feedback. danny (dannyh@idx.com.au) At 00:28 31/12/99 -0700, Gordon Govenlock wrote: >>>> <excerpt><bigger>I am a PC technician - however, that has unfortunately caused my computer to be running Win'98.
