Re: [PLUG] [CTCNet Phl] Tech question: Internet routers (fwd)


The linux router project was replaced by The Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall 
project (leaf.sourceforge.net/index.php?menu=1).  The basic lrp code was 
forked into a couple of different packages.  I had a lrp setup a couple of 
years ago and it worked fine.  The newer packages are supposed to be easier 
to setup.

HTH,
Tom
