[vcf-midatlantic] Museum network

[Dean Notarnicola]

The router has basic firewall protection. Those are layered with the
protection built into the Linux and windows installed on the museum PC
(such as it is).
I agree that it may not be the ideal protection against all threats,
however there's some effort required in configuring and maintaining a
firewall appliance.
Is someone willing to set this up with out of band management and
maintain/troubleshoot?
