What is "fdgw" ?

"fdgw" is one floppy version of NetBSD/i386. [1] It can run on old machine without HDD :-). You can use it as small router, natbox or ADSL router. It is a minimal operating system.

For example, old pc (e.g. IBM PC110) becomes:

pretty ADSL router
pretty router
natbox
your home psuedo firewall
...

This system also supports DHCP and syslog.

This is similar to router product, off course. The extension is easier and better than router product.

Since the floppy size is very limited, we cannot build all-in-one box. So, "fdgw" provides several models for several purposes. Each model has different built-in applications and kernel configurations. For example, simplest model, "natbox" model supports IPv6 but ADSL router model not support v6 since ADSL router needs more programs, such as pppd and rp-pppoe, than natbox model.
