How to tell if IPF is running?

[jdow]

Ack, it looks like it would limp through doing the simple job wanted.
The good news is that I can make it work. The bad news is that it's
apparently so much simpler with the Linux iptables facilities. I can
see I have a bunch of reading to do before setting up to replace the
firewall machine.

Thanks. I like your tutorial. That will get me up with it faster.
