   Sorry about the late reply, your email had to struggle to get through and
has only just arrived.

   In fact, the box running ipcop is sitting between a pair of "invisible"
bridges so that I can play with their setup, while the main connection
between my network and the ADSL modem is via another firewall link at
present. Just some of the uses for a selection of old boxes.
