Folks,
I asked about this a while back, but can't find my list. What I'm
looking for is a router that would have an interface that would be
accessible via lynx or telnet. If not possible, which router has folks
had the best luck with in terms of configuration and have you used
something like Freedom Box or a browser like Mozilla under Gnome to
access it.
I'd like to get a router that has a good firewall that supports nat and
all that good stuff. My goal is to take this old P133 offline. Any
thoughts or advice appreciated.
Scott

Most consumer routers don't have any advanced features, the firewalls are either not configurable or very basic, and a lot of times they only have a web-based interface that relies heavily on javascript. The speed of a p133 shouldn't be a problem for routing, I've worked on one that serves aprox. 20 computers and it keeps up with the demand fine. If you experience slowness, make sure all the NICs are 100mb, and make sure you have at least 64mb ram. the parts for machines of that era are usually easy to find and extremely cheap (I have boxes of parts from machines of that era all obtained from stuff being dumped).

Thanks to everyone for the helpful info regarding routers and such. FOr my configuration I think I wouldn't need much in terms of complex as my goal is to keep everyone out. I really don't need to extra horsepower of a machine, but at least I have options to consider for my basic needs. Thanks again. Scott ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

I had an SMC Barricade 801.11b with three 10/100 ethernet ports plus an uplink port that was quite usable with lynx. The only function I couldn't do was reboot the unit. Fortunatly, power cycling it had the same effect so it wasn't a serious problem. I also flashed it's rom once using ftp.

Try the Netgear FVS318 or similar model, it has a web interface but not sure how well it will work with Lynx. This model is not only a router but firerwall with an 8 port 10/100 switch and works with PPOE and a variety of DDNS service providers as well as has VPN tunneling capability. Since I first purchased mine there have been severl free firmware upgrades which have added new features and enhancements to the user interface. I also believe Netgear has models with builtin wireless, print server capabilities and a variety of other features, check out there web site for specific models.
