Also included is the ability to forward incoming ports so that Internet servers can be securely placed behind the firewall.
Configuration is done via a simple menu-driven system.
Traditionally, configuration often involved building a custom kernel and editing numerous configuration files. To simplify this process, the FIB includes a menu-based configuration utility, which is accessible locally via terminal or remotely via telnet. The FIB includes software and scripts which allow it to both dial out, and to answer incoming modem connections. Dial-in terminal sessions allow the user to configure and manage the FIB as if they were at the FIB's own keyboard. The PPP connection allows a user to use the FIB as a dial-in sever.
