Strangest thing.  The last couple of nights I've been trying to get ISA
NICs working in this thing (It's OLD 120mhz), anyways, None of them
would work, so I figured it was just the NICs, but I was getting strange
output using ethreal, I could see packets flowing from the box, and too
the box, but the box didn't see the packets.

Anyways, With a both PCI nics in there, and a ISA nic in there, for some
reason the ISA nic works, that means out of 3 cards in the box, 2 are
working.  For the time being this is good enough for me...Maybe I'll
work on it more later...Firewall setup time
