OK im glad all this is being done by someone cause im about to get my
stuff here from the uk in the next couple of months and i was thinking of
setting up a firewall myself OpenBSD 2.9 was my choice.

I was going to talk to qwest about the dhcp asigning and change it to a
standard 192 range ...

Im not sure how they are going to react mind lol .... I guess for a true
line with say 2 or more ip addresses cost's more $$$'s .. i was looking at
this option to make it easier on myself.
