of firewalls and networks

[Robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

If you manage to dig out an old computer for doing LAN, two things:

1) ISA ethernet cards are available on eBay for $1 each.
2) I might have some extra ISA ethernet cards at home sitting around.  Please
remind me to look for 'em if you need 'em.

I also discovered that you don't need a hub if you have only 2 computers in
your network.  If you use a cross-over RJ-45 ethernet cable, you can just
connect 'em together.  In this case, however, you'll have to have 2 ethernet
cards in one of your computers -- one to serve the LAN and the other to 
connect
to the WAN (via your ISP).
