Routers, Switchers, and all that stuff

[Cyber Source]

Bob Meyer has made me a couple of extremely reliable routers with old 
pc's running Mandrake and Shorewall (comes with the Mandrake distro). I 
can't tell you how much better the performance is from them little 
router boxes, and FAR better hack protection. All you need is an old pc 
with about 32mb of ram.
