Ed,
Richard Ungar's reply should help. A friend of mine is using the same
setup with a DSL provider and static IP running on a IIcx. Before
NetBSD he would have never thought of running IIS on his NT box. Now,
with IP filter and the appropriate redirect, he can safely serve web
pages from his NT box without having to monitor the security alerts list
for IIS and NT. It sure is nice when a free and secure OS can be used
to "patch"an overpriced, swiss-cheese OS like NT.
Erik
