:) Quote of the month
already!!!
So, can I do RRAS without W2K server?
I'd
be a read pig to strip down the server and rebuild it scratch, as
everything* is
working great at the moment. Is setting RRAS up complicated? Are there any
other
(GPL) packages that can do the same
functionality?
Does the box look like it will hold a
good
layer of black aerosol car paint? (everything else in the rack is
black -
SWMBO says silver would just not
work!)

with
the VisionGS webcam
software.
Works fine. I'm using W2K Server with RRAS. Took a little while to
sort
it out, but it's going now. You don't get any more speed, since the modem
connection is still the bottleneck, but it doesn't cost anything. You can
also
use it as a front end to your HA system by using your own web server. If
you're using it primarily for your own web pages, it's easy to optimise
them
for the STB.
Go
for it. It'll cost you next to nothing and it's another
gadget.

Sorry ....not original enough.
Someone already did that, I think it was Smorgo.

Just mulling things over and I "had an idea
(tm)".
As I've got the PABX system working in the house now, could I
run a fresh
extension line to a Bush box under the TV and stick a
spare modem in the
server (with another fresh line), as ther server has
an ADSL connection and
then hack the Bush box to internally dial into
the server?
Not sure what I'd have to do on the server software
wise but the net effect
would be faster and free-er than dialing out of
the building???
Any
thoughts?
