I'm looking to beef up security on a home DSL line. Currently I am using ZoneAlarm (the freeware version). I'm thinking of taking an old Pentium 120, and setting that up as a firewall, but wanted to know if anyone else had a better idea.

That's what I do with my home LAN. I set up an old 486 (which I had lying around doing nothing anyway) with two Ethernet cards and Linux on the hard drive. I use the built-in IPCHAINS facility to set up firewall rules. It's not terribly fast, but fast enough to do line-rate at the speed of my 256K SDSL line. -- David
