On this same note:
I plan to set up an OBSD IPF Firewall. However, the
machine I plan on useing is a Pentium 100 with only
8 Megs of RAM. Will this work? Do I need more RAM than
this? I hope not.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for posting twice. But I also planned on useing
ISA Network cards as this machine only has one PCI
slot (this is a really old machine). Any known issues
with PCI Lan cards with OBSD?
