Now before you flame me, I know this has been posted many times before, but there seems to be a lot of new members here who may not know about this.
Just got to the Freesco web site and download the latest version.
And not to take anything from here, but they now have a new and improved forums for support.
FREESCO is a small (single floppy) distribution of Linux intended to be a replacement for minor models of Cisco routers. Both, CISCO and FREESCO, have their positive and negative features. The main advantage of FREESCO is its price. Hehehe, you know this word, you like this word, you love this word, what can be sweeter then this word.
FREESCO will cost you only your old dust-collecting 386 computer you were going to throw out few years ago. The main disadvantage of FREESCO - it doesn't have dynamic routing feature, it can be only a static router. Somebody can ask - "Why do we need FREESCO project? There is already LRP (Linux Router Project) which is more complex then FREESCO." Well, the answer is - because most people don't need so complex solution as LRP is and because FREESCO has the easiest setup you've ever dreamt of. Just wipe out a dust from your 386 PC, connect it to network and after 10 minutes of setting up (of course including a break for a cup of coffee) your router will be ready.
enjoy
