Re: [Sheflug] broadband routers

Why not make good use of that old computer lying around the house and
install IPCop (smoothwall) er!! well I have handed a few copies out to
students to give a try, vary east to install but may have problems with
adsl config, but at least you can have fun of leaning some thing about
your router.

Has anyone one set up a serial terminal server using minicom that they
can remote login to routers (cisco). There is a web site at :


http://www.eskimo.com/~johnnyb/computers/stl/

that uses a program called Rungetty that puts a minicom session on each
virtual consone. However it does not use ssh and looking to build a vary
small version with this and network support on bootable CDROM or floppy
disk, or from a tftp server selected with grub 0.92 boot disk

cheers
