Dan & Dianne I am running a very cool linux based proxy server with my cable modem. My nieghbor wrote the software and it runs on a 486 dx266 with 16 megs of ram. The whole system boots from a single floppy and runs hassle free in the 16 megs of ram. It also has an amazing firewall that nothing has got through (so far as I know) He has a great set of step by step instructions and the source code available as a free download. At present I am running 8 pentium machines through it with a cable connection. If you are interested email me at mytechmail@email.com and I will send you the URL.
