Hi Zigniew, Back in '96 I used to run squid on a (linux Slackware) 486 DX 100Mhz, 64 MB RAM for 20 to 30 computers, with a dialup line. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work or be overkill for your setup :) I actually have the same setup in mind (down to the compaq + Dlink in bridged mode :-D ) good luck _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you."
