Hello Maurice.

Hmmm .... , got an e-mail from him with regards to "abuse" of infleunce with 
the management <VVBEG>

Then he asks for a  copy of a photo I sent you, the one with the lion chasing 
a suricate otherwise known as a "meerkat" here ... , took awhile to find it, 
and a few others, when my internet connection returns to normal, I will need 
to make suitable arrangements for the transfer of that and a few other photos 
...

 MK> Understood.

I have tried a number of pre-made ones, and well they work well enough, just 
that they don't do, what I want/need ...

Think I mentioned it before, then, maybe I didn't, I downloaded the 7.3 source 
package, and what I saw there, was pleasing indeed ... , and yes the re-write 
of the iptables script, was one of the things that I liked ... , only I am 
going to need 3, or so different firewall scripts, for different situations, a 
normal one, a split routing one, and a very limiting one (for periods, when 
the kids, must do school work, and not have the temptation of an internet 
connection to keep them from doing homework etc. but still allow at a minimum 
of portforwarding of binkp to the bbs box etc.

And then to see if there is a way to make it all happen auto-magically, as 
much as possible ... cron will help, but some other logic processing will also 
be required ...

Plan is to get it working on the Zipdrive, then transfer it to a CFDISK, and 
use the Zipdrive for logging etc. ...
