[ale] remote shutdown

[Ray Knight]

You can find two ip masq'ing firewall projects at
http://www.linuxsupportline.com/~router/.  These both boot from diskette.  I
use the older Ballantain version and have not had time to try the newer
disk. The Ballantain version runs kernel 2.0.37 and works very well for me
on a 40Mhz 386 with 12MB of RAM.
