Dear List: This is a preliminary inquiry regarding the freesco router and the possibility of using it as a dialin server, since I am considering getting DSL but still need dialin access to the 'net from another local number. The router is envisioned to resolve a dilemma with which I'm confronted regarding dialin internet service: since the companies in my area that offer dialin service either have problematic time constraints or very slow speeds, I'm being forced to consider DSL. Problem is, at one of the two numbers from which I need 'net access, DSL service is not offerred. Therefore, I am considering getting DSL at my home, and using freesco (or some other routerish OS) as to serve the DSL connection to computers in my home. It also seems to me from the freesco documentation that one can dial in to a freesco router/server and join the intranet. It therefore stands to reason that I could get the web connection to be served to me at work over a dialin connection - becoming, in effect, my own ISP to myself. Any comments on this sort of scheme from anyone? Recommendations of alternative routers? Pitfalls to beware of?
As usual, I need to state that my understanding of these matters is a bit sketchy. I'm trying, at this point, to get a better idea of what's involved and thus hoping to arrive at a decision about whether I can devote the time and effort to such a project.
