('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Michele,
I think we may have a misunderstanding here.
It seems there's two different scenarios that are being discussed.
If I'm not mistaken the scenario you speak of looks like this,
                                   +---------------+
             +-------------+ |192.168.1.2 |
             | 192.168.1.1 |-------+user machine 1 |
Internet<----+ IP_Masq | |web browser+ftp|
             | http server | |client+misc |
             | ftp server | +---------------+
             |telnet deamon| +---------------+
             |vnc deamon |-------|192.168.1.3 |
             +-------------+ |user machine 2 |
                                   |web browser+ftp|
                                   |client+misc |
                                   +---------------+
with all externally available services residing on the IP_Masq'd "router".
What I'm talking about looks more like this.

                                  +----------------+
                                  |192.168.1.2 |
           +------------+--port80-|httpd deamon |
           |192.168.1.1 | +----------------+
Internet<--+IP_Masq'd | +----------------+
           |router only |--port21-+ 192.168.1.3 |
           |no other | |ftpd deamon |
           |user | +----------------+
           |services | +----------------+
           | |---------+192.168.1.4 |
           | | |user machine 1 |
           | | +----------------+
           | | +----------------+
           | |---------|192.168.1.5 |
           | | |user machine 2 |
           +------------+ +----------------+
In the first scenario muLinux setup is very simple if not automatic.
In the second "freesco" is easier for beginning users.
