based os as my firewall I gained 100-150kB/sec downloading over running
ZoneAlarm Pro 3 on WinXP :-) and generally my internet connection is a lot
better now. I am also currently working on getting samba and
squid(cause I can, not needed) going and strengthening my firewall
rules. Also setting up with 4 wireless cards in this configuaration

an interesting result and I will let you all know what happens.</FONT></DIV>
