That may be the next step.  I had heard good things about smoothwall and
they do have a pretty webpage!  I'm getting advice that running the proxy
and filter on the firewall machine is the easiest method but that does
raise a few concerns since the firewall is a P166 / 140Mb RAM so a content
filter might slow things down too much.
