Hi Marco - have you thought about setting up a "Coyote" box <see
http://www.coyotelinux.com/ >. I use Coyote on a 486 that somebody
put curbside; I removed the fan and hardrive. All you need is floppy
drive and a couple NICs and your set to go. The Coyote box sits
between you and the Internet. At least you'd get the firewall
software off your machine. Total hardware cost $00.00 - you will use
more electricity though.

Best -greg <gws1@columbia.edu>
