Floppyfw

It is a single floppy that appears to a Win9x machine like a standard DOS 
disketee so you can even mod it's config file in notepad.exe.  Works very 
nice, and is about as secure as you can get (it doesn't even support 
telnet).  The stock one doesn't support GRE (needed for VPN's like PPTP) 
but I hacked the kernel in mine to support it, so if you need that I can 
send you my image.
