Use an external gateway and you should be ready to go.
I use mediatrix 1204's and now that I have them almost working with
mbrowse, I no longer meed a damn windows box to configure them.

I think I am crazier than you.  Over a year ago I managed to build
it on a ultra 5 sprac running solaris.  I went back and tried it a few
months ago and it was just ifdef hell.  The code is just sooooo not
set up for porting.  Way too ugly for me.

I still think a good solaris port may come in handy some day.
It would be fun to see just how large an * system you could build on
a big sun server.  I much prefer tightly coupled architectures over
loosely coupled.  I know tightly vs loosely is about like arguing
over abortion, so I won't go into that.
