[LUNI] CDROM based firewalls: Sentry & Redwall

[Mark Stuart Burge]

FYI Coyote is a floppy based firewall and router all in one and is very 
polished indeed.

It works very well on a pentium 100 (at psu) with no hdd and just two 
rtl8139 type cards (although its hardware compatibility covers a wide range)

The latest release also provides web admin.
