g'day,

i've got kernel 2.0.33, ppp 2.3.4, and ip masquerading working just fine
for our home network, to give dial-on-demand internet access.

i want to speed things up a bit (the ISP uses a 26.6K modem !), so
can/should i install some form of dns or caching ?

the one "fly in the ointment" is that my linux server is a 8M 386.

any suggestions (apart from junk the '386) welcome,



cheers,



Mat
