[H-GEN] IP Masquerading

[Stephen Thomas]

Well, I was running the standard RedHat 5 kernel for ages, all I did
was install ipfwadm and set up the rules...  so my guess is it's
allready in the kernel.

My reason (others may vary) for liking the modules is so you can
insert them and remove them as needed.  (prolly could be replaced
with, to remove the real audio one cause two different people are
downloading the same stream to see if they can get an echo effect
, I dunno, go fig some people :-) (you know who you are btw ;-)
