Last I heard, a 486-33 acting as a router was sufficient to handle T1 traffic. I find it interesting that your's is limping! I run RedHat 5.2 on a Pentium 133 as my gateway/dialer/ip masq/web server/email server/ftp server, etc. and it works great! It must be the processor (??) It can handle the traffic but it can really do nothing else. I access the machine through a telnet window and direct the diald control program window back to my Win98 machine. The control window will freeze for minutes at a time. Everything worked fine when I ran it on a machine with a AMD x586 upgrade module (plugs into the 486 slot and supposedly upgrades a 486-33 to Pentium-133 performance) but I needed that machine as a DVD player for my entertainment center (barely meets min. specs when using a hardware decoder card). As I mentioned on one of the Linux or Microsoft threads I'd like to be running Linux on that machine also but I'm stuck with Win98 because Linux doesn't do DVD movies.
