I haven't investigated it but I think IPCop might be a good solution
here. This would be more the reverse of what was the intended purpose
but it should work. An older computer should suffice in terms of
hardware. Although if you pick up one at Syrotech, the RER store in
Selkirk, or anywhere else (I only know of the two places selling them)
there may be an issue with bad capacitors. At the Lab we have seen about
a 25% replacement rate because of them. Mostly in the Dell 270 and 280
lines. OTOH, when the machines do work they work really well.
Later
