May want closer to 16MB, but most of the floppy based firewalls are 
supposed to work on 8MB.  Is your memory good?  You may want to run 
memtest on it.  I probably have some memory that I could sell/trade/give 
you depending on what it requires (Idon't throw old pc parts out).  I 
know I have 72-pin SIMMs, but I think I gave all my 30-pin stuff away.

There may also be an option with Dachstein to turn on an extra ram 
drive.  When I used Freesco there was an option in the setup to turn on 
2 extra RAM drives of 4MB each before you started extra services like 
webserver, ftp, print server, etc.  Maybe Mr. Steinkhuler will respond 
and enlighten us all.
