Connect Comp http://www.connectcomp.com is selling an ALR PII 266 with no hard drive, key board, mouse and cd. just a 3.5 disk drive. Specs are PII 266 with 512k cache, 32 megs of memory and a 3.5 disk drive for $80.00. Just add two nic's and instant LRP.

My LEAF box is a AMD 586-133 (just a bit faster than a P-75) and its working
great for me.
I will announce to both the dev and user Leaf email lists when Ive released
a new image.

Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Hardware requirements ;-)Ken:
Just to let you know, I am planning on upgrading my LRP to a Pentium or
better. I have a 1.5meg/ 384k PPPoE DSL line from Covad and I only have
one computer behind the LRP in my house. I'll keep an eye on your web
page for any updates.

with this CPU you will see your bandwidth go down the toilet with more
clients behind the LEAF box. Obviously if you have a slower line then you
dont need that kind of power, say a 486sx25 if you have a 768k down/??kup.The newer Roaring Penguin PPPoE clients might be less CPU intensive but
unfourtunatly you need Glibc 2.2 to compile it, and ive found no wayaroundthis (Hint: If someone can prove me wrong I would be most gratefull)whichhas kinda halted images from me till Dachstein is released.

Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Hardware requirements ;-)Yes there is a limit on how slow of a processor one can use with an LRP.
I am using Eigerstien2beta pppoe beta v.0.4 from Kenneth Hadley on a
386 DX board running a Cyrix 486 DLC 40 mhz chip and the PPPoE is
limited to about 500kbps down load. The speed limit has to do with the
way pppoe sends the packets, the processor must recombine them. Also
according to Ken Hadley on anything less than a 486 DX4 100mhz you will
notice a speed dive with PPPoE.

Yesterday the trainee expressed interest, explained that he had cable
access and asked about the hardware requirements. I explained that
almost anything he could lay his hands on would be sufficient and he
then asked "but wouldn't that (a 386) perform *too* slowly?". I
reassured him that that would be OK and sent him off after an
introductory talk about LEAF with both an Eigerstien and a Dachstein
floppy.
Once at home I decided to put my "money where my mouth was" and
*downgraded* my 486 DX2-80 with a 386 SX-33! I had to (of course)
replace the kernel on my ISDN Eigerstien with a non-FPU example, but
it all works a treat! What I do notice is that during start-up the
unpacking of the Linux Kernel and initial ram disk images take an
*age*!I found that there is a lower limit... the performance of a 386-33
on a pppoe setup was significantly lower than no router. However, for
static routing it should be okay, and almost any true 486 should keepupwith pppoe.---------------------------------------------------------------------------Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... GoLive...DCN:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Basics: ##.#. ##.#. LiveGo...Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#.. Playing
