Re: what routers do you need for dial up?

For years I used a cast off PC with:

1. 8 Meg of ram.
2. 486dx33 CPU.
3. 3.5 inch boot diskette
4. ISA modem

And a copy of any of the below...

"insanely easy to use" http://www.freesco.info/

and so on.

You don't see many routers with dialup support for two reasons.

a. Windows ICS does that.
b. Support. People want support and most don't want to pay.
