Hi to all ,
I have a friend who needs to setup a small home-office network .
I answered most of his questions but wanted your opinion / experience /views .
The hardware is a P166 with 32mb ram and plenty of disk space .
the internet link is dsl .
he will have three clients in the office and two laptops in field .
here's the parts i'm not sure of :

1. will a p166 with 32 mb ram running freebsd will be strong enough to be a gateway ( i think yes but 
i wonder what your thaughts are ) .

2.assuming the laptop users have windows 2000 , can they use pptp to "vpn" to the office through the freebsd box ?

thanks and happy new year to all ,
barazani
