Working it now... this is end of year keeping myself busy project for 
the next two weeks.  Eventually the hope is to filter from a VPN switch 
being fed from a 4.5Mb Internet link. I'm using a through-away 233MHz at 
64MB system. For production I'd want something better but this is just 
proof-of-concept stuff.

Think I am wasting my time and should look for something beefier now?
