Port Forwarding vs. Running Servers on Firewall

[Jon Thiele]

Now that BBIAgent is an interesting tool, isn't it???  Fill in a description
of your network cards (3COM, D-LINK, etc.), how you connect to the internet
(ADSL, PPPoE, etc.), a couple of extra parameters (DHCP, DNS etc.) and then
their site automatically generates a bootable floppy image for you to
download.  Register the software for US$36 and away you go.  One small
problem - I can't seem to find the license that they use.  Since its Linux
based, they must use GPL, but you never receive a copy of the agreement
*and* I can't seem to find the source anywhere on their site.

Hmmmmm...

orrrrrr, even cheaper if ya got tha hardware lyin around, no HD or CD
needed, and only 16 -32 RAM will do the trick:
