This Toshiba Satellite Pro 415CS (Pentium 90MHz, 16Mb memory) had worked tirelessly as the gateway / firewall / natd machine connecting my home network to the Internet following its productive career starting in 1996 as a personal laptop machine. It first took on its gateway role during 2000 and ran 24/7 for six years, except for reboots to perform upgrades or due to power failures. The machine's dmesg (from 2004) is recorded at: http://www.nycbug.org/?NAV=dmesgd;f_dmesg=;f_bsd=;f_nick=brann;f_descr=;dmesgid=1135#1135 The role of gateway has been taken on by another Toshiba laptop, purchased in 2000 partly with credits from the Toshiba floppy-driver settlement.
