If you have an old box use linux or BSD. The 3 mail ones are freeBSD, openBSD,Thank you to everyone. I ordered the router from ebay. I'm just not
and netBSD all of whose websites are <name>.org (ie freebsd.org) If you use
linux, use a tool like iptables for traffic routing, and use pf (packet filter)
for openBSD. You can make your own firewall and router from any of these systems.
Try this site on setting up a linux gateway:

Hi all,
I am in the boonies with no hope of cable or dsl and the cost of
satilite is out of the question. I have a small network and running
xp pro using a router as a switch. I know there are routers with
dialup backup, but they seem out of reach too. I have several old
boxes that I could install dos. Is there any way to run such a box
through the wan port on the router so I could benefit from the
physical firewall? I found one program (Internet Extender v1.0b) but
the website doesn't answer. Would anyone have any other suggestions?
Regards,
George
sure I want to tackle linux right now. I can do dos real easy. I'll
check back when I get the router up and running. I don't know about
you folks, but my business (computer repair) is way down. Folks seem
to need the money for gasoline and the slow computer can wait.
Thanks again
George
