Subject: Sisela 0.2 - A 1.44MB boot disk for routers
with ISA/PCI/PCMCIA/Cardbus and wireless support.
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 17:55:18 +0000 (UTC)

About:
Sisela is a 1.44MB Linux-based boot disk that allows you to turn any spare
PC system into a router, firewall, wireless access point, or any
combination of these functions. It supports ISA, PCI, PCMCIA, and CardBus
network cards, including wireless adapters. It provides a DHCP
client/server, remote access through SSH2, DNS caching/forwarding, and
iptables-based firewalling.

Changes:
An SSH2 server and DNS caching/forwarding server were added. Practically
every ISA/PCI/PCMCIA/CardBus network driver in Linux 2.4.22 is now
included and autodetected. The build process is now automated, and a
source package is available.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Does this (or any other floppyfw you know of) support the Speedtouch ADSL
modems *and* vpn?
I was looking at LEAF for a vpn/fw/router box, but couldn't convince my
speedtouch to work with it...

VPN-type applications require port forwarding to work from after a NAT
router.

well, yes - there are rules available for iptables/ipchains to
autoconfigure that - but what I meant was either freeswan in the standard
kernel or a userland vpn module actually on the router (so that you can
link two sites together transparently)
