I have used dial-up connection for a real long time. I waited for broadband to come around my area, be it Cable or Dsl I didn't give a fuck what came first it was first come first...I'm getting it. Anyhow I ended up getting a RoadRunner Connection. I hooked up one of my favorite computers to the cable connection via cable modem. I always used a Software Firewall for dial-up. So the Software firewall was always running waiting for something to hit my ports I'm not going to say what Firewall I was running since everyone complains and argues that they have the best fucking Software Firewall on Earth. I'm sick of that shit. So anyways, within one day I had like over a hundred IP's doing different scans/attacks on my system a day. I even had my Software firewall get shut down on me a few times, due to really hardcore fucking fool. Well enough of that. Anyways, I was enjoying my Broadband Connection so much, I said to myself, "I have to get all my boxes online, I need all of them online." Anyways, I looked into all those cheep dsl/cable switches. I got a switch for $99 and that seems to work fine but I noticed that my connection speed wasn't up to snuff anymore. I blamed my ISP, so I called them up. The tech asked me a few questions and said. "Aha. It's the switch, you're not the first person to have this happen to." I was like, "oh, really." He also told me for 5 bucks more a month I can get a second dynamic IP address. I was almost suckered into the 5 extra bucks a month. I also asked him, "well, I don't want to spend 5 more dollars a month, Is there anything else I can do to get my other computers online." he told me to read my policy. After I read it, it stated that if I wanted like 5+ computers online it was 5 dollars a computer for each one. That must have included a dynamic IP for each box. Or pay 80-120 dollars a month for a business account, which was the same connection speed as I was already getting for 40 dollars a month. 2 mbs download and 340 kbs upload. I told him that that was jerkin my chain, and ended the conversation with him. I knew the tech didn't have any answer for me and was trying to get me to spend more money for the same shit. I started surfing the web for a perfect linux distro to make a firewall/gateway router setup that I could build from spare parts around my computer room. First I set up a 200mhz box with 2 nic cards on it and freebsd as the OS. That was cool at first but then realized that it was a waist of a box to have a great working full linux distro box go to waist just sitting their as a gateway/router. Even thought that this was a kick ass setup, I wanted to make a smaller box for a router. I looked around the net and came up which a few cool linux router floppy distro's and thought I would try a couple of them. I started off trying these cool little floppy distro's and fell in love with mini linux distro`s. After 2 months of playing around, one day my browser landed on WWW.freeSCO.ORG this distro claims it had not only firewall/gateway server but it had tons of services that can be run from this little floppy disk. I was like no fucking way. I started on d/l it after I read the whole web site. It was still fairly a new distro then with very little support on the web page. I dusted of an old COMPAQ I hate Compaq's by the way. But anyhow. This box was a 33MHz with 20 meg hard drive8 megs of ram, I beefed it up with a Pentium overdrive processor 250 meg hard drive and 32 bytes of ram and a internal fan for the newly added heat from the overdrive. I added in 2 nic cards and a 56kbs true US Robotics modem not on that 3com manufactured after they took over. I had my Freesco box up and running within 15 minutes I was still little rusty on the knowledge and the know-hows the ins and outs of my newly found Internet router/server setup. I spent hours researching as much as I could on Freesco, by the way Freesco, the name stand for FREE cISCO. After I learned some install tricks from other freesco users I had my little 486 screaming as a web server, a ftp server, a time server, a dhcp server, oh ya and the most important part is that I could share internet usage on my LAN without degrading my bandwidth. I can have 5 to 10 people on my LAN playing Quake2/Quake3 on the Internet all of use having 50-ping time or less all at the same time I could never do that with a dsl/cable switch, this was the proof of the pudding for me. That Freesco was a leet setup for leet people.... hehehe. Anyways, My Freesco Floppy Distribution now runs on my hard drive since I customized the crap out of it. Anyways, it all comes down to that those cheap ass cable/dsl switches are OK since you can set it up in 5 minutes or less. And you can have a little safety but most people don't even password protect them. ya you fucking lamers. Password protects your routers. Dumb asses. Anyways, if your looking for a leet ass way to have LAN parties, be it gaming or hacking, then a Linux Floppy distro might be good for you. I love my freesco box. It is what I like to call fuckin-high-speed-shit... as in real fucking leet. My little freesco box does more in a minute then most peoples computers do all day long..... And oh ya I forgot to mention that the Freesco is more configurable as a router then a dsl/cable router. It goes along ways. You can customize the distro for your own usage. Oh, the other cool thing I could do that switch couldn't do is dial into my LAN and get true 56k-speed connection to my gateway, not 53,333 kbs I connect at 56kbs from a remote location. Like a mini ISP for hackers. I hear there is a new version of freesco coming out soon. I can't wait till the day.... Everytime I See a ol 486 kicking around I Smile to myself and think "Ya, that would make one fucking hell of a FREESCO BOX".+.+.+.+.+ Enjoy `,) `amatier --------------------------------------------------------------------- I have seen the future, and have seen the past, and yes our master is there. <<<`das`amatier>>> hacking into the realm. the future is near... ---------------------------------------------------------------------
