 Sounds good so far. What would help besides feature parity is a=20
 conversion how-to.

 I'd love to - this is a six-core cpu - but it's not going to happen=20
 quickly:
 
 % wc -l /etc/pf.conf
      829 /etc/pf.conf
 %
 
 I have to be familiar enough with npf to convert the setup over a=20
 weekend, or there'll be one less sysadmin.  ;)
 
 Last I looked, tehre wasn't much npf documentation to speak of, but I=20
 admit it's been a while.
