http://www.Coyotelinux.com may be an option.

  Worked well behind the cable modem. No bells and whistles. My problem
was that I could not get the remote logging to function. (my errors most
likely)

  I used a DLINK 530tx+ NIC, linksys lne-tx 10/100 NIC, 350mhzPII, ASUS
p28-f motherboard, floppy, and 32 megs SDRAM. Behind that was a DLINK
DSS-5+ Switch then five other PCs.

  The nice thing was it solved the linksys befsr41 lockups I had been
having.

  HAppy Friday
