[ale] About that firewall machine (NEW IDEA)

[Stephen Turner]

ya know. if someone has an old 486 or pentium that
would make a good firewall with nic then why not take
say this floppy cyote? firewall.. modify it so its to
your needs and zap it to a bios chip?you can get a
good one at 8 megs for not bad of a price i believe..
that is compatible as bios... and then just get a
what.. 512mb hd and use it for say.. your connections
history or what not.. boom ya got a what? 75 dollar
computer/firewall working .. might take some hacking
though considering i dont think its been worked on
before.. but its an idea... anyone have 486's /
pentiums layin around? :-p comments suggestions wanted :)
