That didn't occur to me.Of course I have heard of using an older PC as a

long since I read about it and it wasn't a completely in-depth article by
X-something or something X,how would I tun this old PC into a
Firewall/Router.
Like Eric said, Smoothwall is a good choice. IPCop is slightly better depending on your needs (one project is a fork of the other, I forget which came first). I'm currently using Endian (which is a fork off of IPCop) on an older Toshiba laptop using two cheap PCMCIA NICS. Works like a charm; even has integral battery backup. :)
BTW,you guys can really drag out an argument to it's bitter end,huh?:)
Why I let myself get dragged into this I'll never know...
