hehehe.. sadly.. all of my linux boxes are already secured by
IPTABLES... and it is working very well.. The issue with running
smoothwall or any bridge or such is that it requires moving all machines
behind one machine... Maybe what I need to do.. but it would be nice
if there was SOMETHING that could be run on the windows machine. =\ hehe
  maybe someday.. come on Microsoft has a license for SCO code.. why
don't they use some iptables stuff and use the IP stack or something =)
make a decent firewall!
