This isn't the challenge. I'm currently connected to the Internet via a 286 with 1 MB of memory and a Creatix S0 board running DOG, PC-ROUTE and ISPA. It works reasonably well, performs channel bonding, and costs a whole lot less than other alternatives. The problem is that it isn't as flexible as a *good* UNIX solution. Greg
