I was wondering if I can set one up of these lovely transparent
gateway/Firewall boxes on a dialup. This I'm guessing would remove the need
to set a gateway? I need a Knoppix cd to be able to access the Internet
with minimum of fuss.
Any links would be cool but a dedicated distro isn't suitable.
Otherwise its Debian for me.
Thanks
