Re: [SLUG] home server on adsl; advice

[Amanda Wynne <amanda_linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking at getting an Alcatel Pro. Currently running a P120 with Freesco 
via dialup.

What I'm thinking of doing, if it's possible (this was going to be my next 
question) is change the Freesco box to bridge mode, feeding the alcatel, with 
my web server (yet another box) hanging off the alcatel. That way my Lan is 
effectively double-firewalled.

Is this a good idea?
