Turning The SEGA Dreamcast Into A Linux Router

Posted by timothy on from the plastic-and-silicon dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This highly detailed 101-page how-to article provides the necessary background and procedures to turn a SEGA Dreamcast gaming console into a Linux-based router with firewalling and virtual private networking capabilities. The article explains how to create the necessary toolchain for compiling both programs and the Linux kernel, and shows how, starting from scratch, you can build a Linux operating system that runs entirely in memory."

    I have a Dreamcast.

    I have a Broadband adapter.

    The Broadband adapter's plugged into the Dreamcast-- and there's no place to plug in another one.

    Seems to me that a router with only one ethernet port is kinda limited in functionality...
