Using firestarter with good success, but had a problem with excessive
console and GUI messages on the busy intranet at work.  Workaround was
to use "dmesg -n4" to quiet it down, and to turn off display of traffic
not directed at my host in the GUI.  Still lots of logging showing up
in /var/log/message or interactive dmesg, but at least can now use the
VCs.  Any good advice on this?
