A PC is not enough. For one, it doesn't have an ADSL port, so I still need the router from the provider. Then, the old PC I have has only one eth port, and for a router you need two - being an old computer, it might be impossible to get that card.
If you need ISA, I'll send you a couple of 3c590 or 3c515 if you pay the postage. If PCI works, you can have a D-Link <somewthing> with RA8381.
Well, thanks, but better not. I feel lazy in this matter, it is not something I really need so I'll probably do nothing in a long time O:-) I was only describing the difficulties, not calling for help - not yet, anyway. I could probably get a card second hand quite cheap.
I ran my internet gateway on a 486DX2 with 24Mb for years. I think it was SuSE Linux 7.1 - with 11.3 the issue is the installation, not the operation.
The machine has 7,3 currently.
Today I would probably buy some embedded thingie, more probably one of these http://www.pcengines.ch/ and then run the xDSL router in bridging mode. Setting it up would be more work, but I would want the flexibility.
Yes, I had thought of that, too. That idea tickles me a bit :-)
If someone has a suggestion of a real good and cheap router, with adsl port, wifi, generic code, support for IPv4, V6, and whatever is needed now and for the future (wow!), then speak up! :-)
I don't know of one that will satisfy all of those requirements. Quite a few come close though - Zyxel has very affordable boxes, but only one that does IPv6 and it's not using openWRT. Linksys WRT54GL is good option, but it doesn't have ADSL, so you'd have to keep your existing modem.
I'll have a (lazy) look to see what I can find, thanks ;-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
