Re: Interesting almost-free ISP: Access-4-Free.com
All the links I found for this little sucker showed it at $67.95 or higher. I got my SMC wireless gateway/firewall/switch for $59 and I think it had a $20 rebate. The only positive thing I saw on this router is that it has two serial ports so you could connect up to 2 modems. Wouldn't do much for you on cable internet.

I think that would be rather useful, although the last time my cable modem went out it was the big ice storm and that took the phone line out too.

If I wanted a router that had the serial port I already have my Linux Router. Lucky for me, IPCop has diald and is able to initiate a connection over modem. When I used Freesco (Free Cisco), it would do the same. I just never had a need for this functionality. You can also use it to dialin remotely and get Internet access over your cable modem, effectively becoming your own dialup ISP. I have not set this up either, but if I had to travel you can bet I would. This is exactly what Jon ended up setting up for her husband to use from work to get email, although she used a different distro. So my solution is (cost of old hardware+$0 for distro+few hours of setting it up=very tweakable Linux Router)(Continue reading)

I used to build these for people, but I can't recommend it any more. For around $50 you can get a black box that doesn't make any fan or HD noise, requires no keboard, mouse, or monitor, takes up as much space as a paperback book, and can be managed successfully by a non-technical person. I've never used one of the pre-packaged Linux firewalls, nor have I ever had the spare capacity to install any GUI or web-based interface, which might make a Linux firewall more managable to a non-technical person, but I still suspect that for anyone but the Linux computer hobbiest the "brick" solution is the best.

I've subscribed to some very strictly "on topic" LUG lists, including the Hampshire LUG in England. All of them together have never come up with as many good solutions to Linux problems - to say nothing of interesting ideas ranging from cars and bikes to employment and social organizations. If someone has a good question on Linux, we usually focus on it until there's a good answer. If nobody's got a hot topic, we chat anyway. This is a social list, not a manufacture support line. If a message doesn't meet your standards, hit next. Don't make yourself look like such a pompous fool.
