I have a headless machine (no monitor) set up with 3 pci and one ISA nic. One
nic is plugged into a 3com router on a 256k circuit, one is plugged into a
Netgear RM356 modem router for dial backup, one is plugged into a switch for the
LAN segment, and one is connected via crossover to an x terminal.

Had to enter static routes. No firewall rules on the modem or crossover.
Typical setup on the other two...everything can go out, only ssh can come in.
