Connection to ISP - dialout via : conventional modem. Dial on demand is preferable. I've done something similar in the past with a 386DX33 with 3 dialin clients and 1 dialout + ethernet. We had 16M of RAM, however. The 8M should be enough, especially with FreeBSD 3.5 : If yes, what flavour of PicoBSD is recommended? I'd be tempted to use the Picobsd from 3.5 in the dialin configuration. 4.x is heavier weight. You might also want to consider a stripped down FreeSBD on compact flash + IDE adapter since CF is a lot more reliable than floppies. However, I suspect that this is expensive still in russia.
