Hi Keith,
They've got cash flow problems:

http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5096203,00.html
But
http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2809002,00.html?chkpt=zdnnp1tp02
seems to indicate someone will rescue them.
We'll see what happens with the access charges over the next few months, I
suspect they'll be going up.

Tim,
Tried it out on my old shell of a rackmount NT4 box and it worked.
Obviously it will be a linux box once I go ahead and set things up.
What's this about while they're still in business? Are they in
trouble or what else is up?
Regards,
Keith B.

Hello All,
I picked up a used CNet, CN8800TX (?) mini-hub this weekend at a used
computer store - so no info, drivers, etc. The CNet, Inc site only
gives specs, no user manual etc. It has one BNC and 9 UDP ports, one
is used for uplink, I assume set by a DIP switch. I am new to this and
have successfully set up a cable modem on an all but BNC thin coaxial
network @ home using SuSE 7.2 personal so all my kids and I have have
internet sharing with the cable modem. THe gateway is my son's machine
as it is closest to the cable wire coming in, thus it was chosen. I do
not want to pull new cabling in the house, so I put two NICs in his
box to accomodate my needs for now. The issue is he uses windoze for his
school stuff and games ( he's 11) and I have SuSE running on it now. I
would like to set up a dedicated Linux only gateway in the basement and
use this mini-hub, so I won't have to pull put one new cable in this
3 level home. Can anyone tell me or point me to a howto or SxS on how to
use and set this up. ( I am a newbie at this, but an older amateur @
networking. I am a physician, not a trained IT or hardware person, but
do this as an enjoyable hobby for myself and others).

Keith B.
If you have an old PC lying about (486, old Pentium) you
can install a couple NICs and run one of the many linux-based floppy routers:
Freesco: http://www.freesco.org
Coyote Linux: http://www.coyotelinux.com/
Linux Router Project: http://www.linuxrouter.org/
GnatBox: http://www.gnatbox.com
Are a few I know of. All of which offer solutions that fit on a floppy and
can run on as little as a 486.
Personally, I use a freesco router with a P166, 32MB RAM, 2 NICs, and a
floppy -- all spare parts I had laying around and I connect to @Home with it
(while they're still in business, anyway).
HTH,
Tim
