My CompuServe id is 71035,3137.  That's actually not my first one, but I 
couldn't get my first one back after I had dropped off for a few years.

Are you looking for something about firewalls in general or for something 
specific?  If you want to roll your own with a Linux system I recommend 
"Linux Firewalls (Second Edition) by Robert L. Ziegler.  Be sure to get the 
Second Edition.

Yeah, mine's a real, live, 20wpm Extra (not that I could even copy 5wpm any 
more).
