[BC] Two input router?

[Jeff Allen]

www.smoothwal.org

It's free, easy to configure.  It runs on Lunix, but you don't need to
install Linux separatly, just put together any old box (486 or better) with
two nic cards, boot the CD and it installs, asks a few questions and it's
done.  Make sure you do the updates, the only PIA about it.  You need to
download the files, but the interface deal with the updates..you don't have
to do much.  I have two of these systems running since we have two ISPs.
I've used it for several years now with no issues except a dead hard drive,
but I keep two loaded with the program on standby.
