Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II

micsaund writes: "It looks like the infamous Captain Crunch has been toiling away for 3 years on a firewall now known as the Crunchbox. It runs OpenBSD and is administered via a web-based interface. Steve Wozniak is quoted as saying it's 'next to un-crackable.' Check it out at ShopIP. The Register also has an article on it. As an aside, since the Linux Router Project (LRP) appears to have been sold-out and GnatBox is a tad expensive, is anyone aware of some kind of 'packaged' firewall with a slick interface available for free?" We mentioned Draper's venture into firewalls last year, but there's been some progress since then.

    Sorry: you're quite right.

    From now on it'll be <strong>strong tags</strong>

    How's that?

    hmm..

    Although I do reserve the right to use an asterisk in an expletive, as I did in the offending passage, above, by replacing the vowel with a star to soften the full weight of my choice of words...
