Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have an old 486/33 that I want to use as a gateway between my network and my dialup acct. The machine has only 12mb of ram and a ~200MB HDD. Idealy I'd like to act as a firewall, gateway, router and an extremely low load mailserver. Would the machine handle all that efficently under 3.2? How about 2.2.8? what would be the better choice? -Steve *=====================================================* \ Ford Prefect Ahead of my time. \ \ fordp@guide.chi.il.us but only by a week. \ \ homepage.interaccess.com/~fordp \ \ \ \ ((In esperanto where available)) \ *=====================================================* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
