I have been using a 486-DX-120 [ using RH 5.2 and ipfwadm ] and have
been experimenting with the amount of RAM installed. I have been told
that ppp moves the data at the kernel level and a lot of ram is not
necessary.
I have tried using the setup with both 8 meg and 16 meg of ram and the
data t

That should work fine. I had a 386/33 running in a s

Well, this theory of "always overhead" sounds a little simplistic to me. But I might
be very wrong since it depends very much on how things are implemented.
Let's see. The card and the main processor are two different things (even if tey are
not, Linux is multitask). Taking a packet p1 beeing

Robert,
I know that 3com produced at least one 100Mb ISA card. I'm not sure if
it's still available...
You could connect the 486 to an auto sensing hub, where any connection
may be either 10Mb or 100Mb.

I have a 486/66 that I want to use as a firewall for a cable-modem. What I
really want is a 10MB ethernet card for the cable-modem and a 100MB card for
the LAN.
