Turn off all the services you don't need on it. Stop file and priint
sharing. You could get a cheapo linksys box and just trun on the
ports you need.
Since MS is (or has already) stoped issuing patches there's a limit to how
safe you can make this puppy, by itself.
If you _really_ need security and for some reason can't upgrade from
NT4, you can run it under VMware or MS Virtual Machine on a modern OS,
which can run a firewall.
