Hi guys, This is an interesting uestion/suggestion... I have an old '386 sx 20MHz w/ only 4MB of R AM. Is this enough machine to act as a gateway/firewall between either a DSL connection of a Cable connection running DHCP? If not, what would be the minimum machine required to act in this capacity? Or, alternatively, what is the cost/capabiliyt of the dedicated router that Kirk is talking about? --terry On Sun, 10 Sep 2000, Kirk Wood wrote: > Brent, > > You should look into getting a dedicated broadband router designed for > home use.
