Hi, this might be a bit off-topic since the question is not directly related to netfilter. So, sorry if I wasted anyone's bandwidth. Do you consider a AMD-K5 to be enough to filter traffic for a network with a 100MBit/s connection to the outside world? Usually "firewall for dummies" mention 486 and 10MBit/s-cards and consider PIII as overkill but that leaves a large spectrum uncovered. Thanks Olaf
