This was my first choice, also.  Compiling anything
on the 25 Mhz 68k mac takes a really long time.  And the  internal
linux server is a dual PII and has the home directories, so it seemed 
better to let the 68k's just pass and filter packets.

Can you elaborate on that proxy you wrote.  I don't know much about
that.

When you buy a new Sun Server,
      you could be putting another American out of work.

Ask me how.
