Hey
So perhaps I will keep my router for now and when I do get the money I will
purchase a new computer and just put ipcop on it. It's a good idea because
my fedora server is running a samba, media, and maybe a ftp/drop box type
server and I think it would be best for another computer to do the routing.
Thanks for your inputs.
