Looking for a low-cost way to connect to the Internet, it occurs
that a spare VAX 11/750 running 4.2BSD might be used as a gateway.
Can anyone comment on whether/how well this might work? I think
I understand that BIND might not work without a lot of recompiling,
but presumably I could run the resolver on another machine in the
local network. What else?
I will summarize if there's interest.
