This is very true. I just wanted to make sure s/he knew that there was
another option, just in case the benefits of each machine having it's own
IP outweighed the extra expense. Of course the original poster will have
to figure that out for him/herself. Personally I don't play much networked
Quake (anymore) and have no need to FTP/Telnet etc directly to our internal
machines so I haven't noticed the minor restrictions associated with IP
Masq/NAT.
