Since I'll change my network at home (currently a P166MMX (64 now - 32
later) and a P120 (16MB) connected via BNC - that's not going to change,
mainly since I can't afford it) to more computers (AMD K6-2 400 (64) and a
486DX2-66 (24)) I was wondering:
1. Where can I find information on setting up a router (the 486) - Linux as
OS of course (or can DOS do it?) for the moment to access the modem - later
on perhaps a cable modem. (National phone company must sell the TV-cable
part so an increes in speed on implementing that will probably happen).
2. Does Linux check to see if the keyboard is connected and if so, how do I
change it not to (I've got RedHat 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0 as fast choices -
SlackWare and Debian are things I easily can obtain). (Needed if I want,
and I sure do, to store the 486 away where I can't fit in a keyboard). The
BIOS is no problem (tested under DOS).
3. How to get these 4 computers to talk with each other. First of all the
P120 and K6-2 (DOS(with or without Win3) and DOS(with or without
Win3)+Linux (might be with W95 as well)) need to be able to access InterNet.
But printer (on the 486) sharing (mainly from DOS(with or without Win3),
might be W95+Linux as well) is also important.
I also need to be able to send files between the P166 (DOS + W95) and the
K6-2 (DOS + Linux) - preferly between DOS-DOS (not a problem with Novell
PNW), DOS-Linux, W95-DOS and W95-Linux. Using the 486 to store things in
between is not a good option (440MB HD, might be a 250 as well).
BTW: I am aware that many of you might think that this is an overkill in
CPU power and memmory, but since I got it free or for a very low cost I'll
need to use it for something usefull now don't I?
