CoCo Firewall: WAS: Re: [Coco] Re: tired of the "windows/linux user bashing" thread...

Mark and Torsten:

A long time ago, I had asked a rhetorical question on the 
Princeton list if it were possible to use the CoCo as a 
network security appliance.

While NitrOS seems to be a good OS (I haven't used it yet) 
it is not that common especially to script kiddies and 
other nasties out on the net.

What do you think about the possibility of an 8-bit system 
being used for network monitoring?
