software to make server act as a router ?

[plenderj]

Our isdn router went walking over the weekend, so I've installed a TA into our server, but now I was wondering does anyone know off-hand of any decent software to allow the server to act as a router ?

I don't want to use ISA server, I'd prefer to do this at a lower level..

Windows 2000 Server comes with Routing and Remote Access. That software can make your server act like a router.

I not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there's a Linux distro called Freesco that's supposed to be a replacement for Cisco routers - it runs on old junk entirely off the floppy and won't touch the hard drive unless you explicitly tell it to.

That routing jobby in windows'll do nicely actually.
Ya see we'd normally use our ISDN router, but we gave that as a lend to someone, and I just wanted to get us back onto the ISDN

A little free with that hardware, eh, Jamie? Actually, I used to take our switch to LAN parties, which meant that no one could get online till I brough it home *snicker*

We took a nice Netgear 8-port 100MiB/s switch from work for our LAN party. Nicked it off the experimental GNU/Linux cluster
