Hello all.
I have read a couple of messages here on IP masq, and was kind of hoping that
it would get a bit deeper, but no luck!
I am thinking about setting up an old 486,or one of my 'trash' pentiums with
ipmasq, or some other method to let the home network connect to the internet,
and was wondering about a few things. So if you can help Thanks!
1, what would be the minimum system that would work?
I have an old compaq deskpro 486-66 32 megs,(no hard drive right now),
and a couple of pentiums that are pretty much just laying around for now.
2, how much ram,and disk space would be needed? is more better?
3, what would the performance hit be compared to a direct connection? Here in
the big city of Pierson mi. (pop 207) the only ISP is a bit overloaded from
all the outlaying towns,and it's the king of slow,even at 2am. so any
performance hit is a big hit.
4, any other reccomendations on software that would do the same thing?
Thanks again, I've learned quite a bit from lurking in the shadows here,
Most of the time I find info I'm looking for without having to post,but no
such luck on this one!
ken.
