Correct. I dont have to maintain a heartbeat at all. UTP cable to
modem (which is only a means of transport), the GATEWAY does the NAT and
Routing and so forth...
I use IPCop as the Gateway, and it just works.. No intervention from me
required. Your wireless/wired setup sounds just the ticket. I'm
interested in how the wireless part of this goes, cause thinking of
doing a wireless home setup myself in the near future... Linux based of
course...
In AU TCC requires software to put a heart beat on the line. I think
you've indirectly said that there's no such thing required here. The
modem just gives you a live ip which you then host. No pppoe software
required either.
I'll put a second nic in the debian box then use it to nat for a
wireless and wired network via a switch.
Thanks to all for the response.
Cheers Don
