There is another possible topic (besides the MC one:-)

Many of us use Routers on our broadband or even dial-up conenction.  Most of us
(or amny) probably allow very little or NO inbound connections to avoid getting
our systems hijacked.  

If we could use VPN to connect to our private internal networks so that we can
admin or make changes this would be much safer than just having an open
connection.  Ways to setup VPN or make a hardened machine that while not crack
proof is much more secure than just using VNC to connect to your machines
desktop may make an interesting topic.  There seem to be a few folks here who
are adept at it - can a few of you post links for how to setup a home vpn
(using Linux or freebsd or whatever you use) and perhaps this could be a future
topic ( I have to admit it is hard to leave the house when it is 2 DEGREES!
outside but I know I have to learn how to setup VPN as well :-)

JJ
