What made you think of drunk? ;)

I love scripting things to save time, however with this clunker I'm pretty sure
it's not possible. I'm running this floppy-based firewall thing:

http://www.bbiagent.net/en/index.html

It uses iptables, but I haven't the faintest idea how I would access the thing
in such a way that I could set up any sort of startup script. Worst of all, the
interface is Java...ugh. Not a clue how that works.

What I will do eventually, when this old horse finally kicks is use one of my
other old boxes and load smoothwall, but until then it just keeps on ticking
and fits very nicely behind the panel below the breaker box with my giant 12
port powered hub...and a couple of empty beer bottles =-)
