[ale] Network solution direction. Found something.

[Eichler, Paula J.]

I used the home networking mini howto and a paper on using IP masquerading
with RedHat when I was first playing around with Linux at work.  I think
that once that is working, fetchmail is a nice pop3 client to route mail
from various accounts to the home server.  The workstations collect mail
from the server and don't have to go outside.  Fetchmail can run as a daemon
and collect mail in the background.  This doesn't just work for
home-networking.  With properly thought out firewall rules, this works fine
for other situations ...pj

Sometimes I jump the gun.  I just found a mini-HOWTO on home networking
and am reading it now.

I would still appreciate any thoughts and suggestions on this though.
