[MLB-WIRELESS] Floppy Based Router

[Mark Dorset]

Hi Michael,

Have a look at floppyfw - it's a single disk debian-esque linux 
distribution, which has all sorts of firewall/routing/NAT/VPN 
functionality, as well as a howto on modifying the distro (so you can 
probably add your modules/drivers if they're not already there);

I've not used it, but found it from doing a google search...

regards,
Mark
