Hey everyone. A family member asked me to setup a gateway in his house so that the internet can be shared between a couple of tenants. I realize it can be very easily done using a router, but I have this 486dx2 50mhz at home with 8mb ram. It has a 300mb and 640mb hd in it too. If I only wish to run a simple router setup using ipfilter and ipnat, will it run FreeBSD? The only other services running being ssh and perhaps ftp and I couldn't care less about how fast it runs, as long as it "does its job" adequately. One other thing, seeing as it'll be sharing PPPoE adsl, I'll have PPP running in dedicated mode at all times.
The reason I'm asking is because it only has 30-pin simm ram slots, and I haven't even seen any for sale anywhere, nevermind whether or not its close to reasonable. I realize that if it would have 16 MHz it would probably run just fine. That brings the list of stuff running to ppp -d ftpd (maybe, I might just use the old burn a cdrom and drive over method instead)0 openssh ipnat ipfilter Any comments more than welcome.
