Wow, that's exactly what I need. I guess if no one has a linux or Windows
util / script that does the same thing, then I'll be building up an old BSD
box here just for this. I do wish that I didn't have to waste the time
setting up and keeping machine around just for this (could use Plex86 or
vmware I guess, but I bet the device mount stuff could have an issue..), so
if anyone has Linux or Windows equivalents, I would appreciate it. 

Thanks for the assistance,

As far as I know there is no way to unpack and edit the images in windows.
My Linux stupidity is showing through here, but if there is a 'vn' device
equivalent then a quick edit of my unpacker script should get you going
(http://mrkasai.undergroup.com/m0n0wall).  Otherwise I would find a tired
old box and throw FreeBSD 4.9 on it.  That's the easiest route, and the
route the hackers guide
(http://m0n0.ch/wall/hack/) was written for.

Hope that helps,
