Firewalling is easy for a lousy old 486-33, because most network
connections are still so painfully slow. The PC floppy drive does
about 250kbytes/sec, and this is faster than the max rate of a T-1
(1.544 mbits/sec or 193kbytes/sec). Yawn.

However a IIgs chugging along at 2.7 mHz might be a bit more pressed
to handle the amount of data. Maybe overclocked it could do it..
