It's not going to be a 24x7 router.  It is for when I
need to setup a small LAN is various areas for various
purposes (e.g. exhibits, outdoor gatherings sa
kalagitnaan ng bukid, backup connection if our DSL
line fails for whatever reason, etc.)  I already have
the machine with a PCMCIA-slot PCI card.  We can't get
it to work in Win98 so I'm looking at a Linux-based
solution.  I'm already downloading the latest
Slackware (v10.2) as it is the only distro I found so
far that claims it stills works for pre-Pentium
processors.
