well interesting discussion
i recent;y had my router burn out and went searching for an open src alternative
i saw this router at a good price and it could be flashed with DD-WRT
Well it died after three days . First the 5 and then the 2.4 radio.
I returned it. The next one lasted 3 weeks then each transmitter went out.
Needless to say, I gave up on netgear. Never had much luck with them. I think Buffalo is the way to go.
This is an excellent discussion! I started out with the Commodore Vic-20 and quickly moved to the Commodore 64. I soon
learned the power of networking (even over a slow modem) and bought a rather obscure co processor for it (Z80 running CP/M)
I learned 6502 assembly and then Z80 assembly (similar). I was off and running.
I soon developed a program that did communication between the two cpus. I made my first thousand selling said program on CompuServe.
Got introduced to the PDP-11 and Unix version 7 which I may still have the src for. My life as a Unix kernel hacker was in its early days.
Ahh the old days JeT
