References: <1992Dec28.190134.25314@kumr.lns.com> <1992Dec29.035149.18552@zip.eecs.umich.edu> Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 15:17:00 GMT Lines: 15 Does anyone have significant experience with using 386BSD as the basis for a dedicated SLIP/PPP to Ethernet gateway? Is it reliable? The power where I live has been unstable as of late (ie. goes down several times a week) I have been contemplating setting up a dedicated 386 box as a gateway machine with an internal battery pack to isolate it from the electric company. That way I can leave the Sun's down when I'm not using them, and at the same time have a constantly accessible node for e-mail and automated ftp retrieval. -- Reginald H.
