[NTLUG:Discuss] DSL Availability / netfilter

[Rauschuber, Chris]

Well, it's actually McCallum between Coit and Meandering Way, just far
enough from Coit/Campbell to be in Dallas and not Richardson.  I'm gonna
hold my breath for a few months and see if they put in a new central office.
If not, maybe I'll shell out the $$ and go with Ricochet or something.
I just moved there in Novemeber, so I'm stuck for a while : (

In the meantime, I'm going to setup a dial-on-demand router so that I can
share my tiny bandwidth between two computers.
I'm trying to decide whether to stick with ipchains or go with 2.4 and
netfilter.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info,
Chris (Rauschuber)
