It's certainly possible to use FreeBSD on a laptop, and as a network gateway... you'd only have to have two network cards in it to be able to have it function as a gateway. As far as the Windows 95 issue, you can dual boot the laptop, but when it's running Windows 95, you're not going to be able to use it as the network gateway. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
