Hi,

I have a 386 machine  with 8meg of ram that acts as a gateway beween a 
pool of networked sparcs and a ppp connection at home.
Is there any special settings to the kernel that I can make so to 
optimize the forwarding of packets from the ethernet card to the ppp 
interface?
Is upgrading to a 486SX a good move? 
Is adding more memory (from 8 to 16Meg) a good idea?

Thanks.
