How fast is your connection to the University? You could be
limited to 10baseT with a 486.

Hello fellows,
I have a few questions for you.
We will be getting hooked up to the University's LAN in
about a
month or so. For security reasons I'd like to set up a comp as
a gateway
instead of getting an IP for each comp my family owns. Will a
486 work for
this job? What are the bare requirements for this gate. The
486 I'm
looking at doesn't have a HD but I can take the 2.4 gig HD (The
Linux HD
on my current desktop) and swap it in. The gentleman I'm
negotiating with
says he'll sell me the box and a NIC for $85.00. Will I need
two NIC
cards? one for the ethernet connection into the gate and one
to go to
the hub? Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely and Respectfully Yours
