Hans, Thanks for the reply... sorry I forgot to put a subject in the e-mail.... These aren't the OS's I'm looking for... I recall a few years ago hearing about a linux installation and kernel that was specifically designed to be a firewall... I have searched google and havn't come up with the name of it... I went ahead and resubmitted my original e-mail with a subject this time... Best Regards, Lynn P.
