[Soekris] m0n0wall alternatives?

[tommy@bishoptower.com]

Christopher,

I am very interested in your project. I have a number of Itronix laptops 
that run great with OpenBSD but will not work with FreeBSD or M0n0. I am not 
the only one who has this problem with Itronix, see 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1452190+0+archive/2002/freebsd-questions/20021124.freebsd-questions I 
really wish there was 2 versions of M0n0 (which is excellent btw), OpenM0n0 
and FreeM0n0.

Contact me offlist about your project. Tnx

Tom Johnson
