Subject: Freesco firewall, PPPoE and ssh
I have inherited a nice little 386 computer that I though I could use to free
up a more powerfull computer I am currently using as my firewall. I have
looked around and seen recent recommendations on this list for Freesco so I
thought I would try it. Before I do I have two questions that I haven't
found answers for online:

1-My internet connection is PPPoE over DSL. I don't have a fixed IP. Can
Freesco do PPPoE and dynamic IP?

2-The Freesco docs say it supports telnet. That's good but I don't want
telnet on my firewall, except maybe on the internal connection. Can Freesco
do ssh so I can get on it from an external connection?

A negative answer to either of these will disqualify Freesco for my needs.
If that is the case, I will need to find an alternative firewall setup that
can run on a 386. Any recommendations?
