freesco as dialin server?

[james miller <jamtat@mailandnews.com>]

Dear List:

This is a preliminary inquiry regarding the freesco router and the possibility 
of using it as a dialin server, since I am considering getting DSL but still 
need dialin access to the 'net from another local number. The router is 
envisioned to resolve a dilemma with which I'm confronted regarding dialin 
internet service: since the companies in my area that offer dialin service 
either have problematic time constraints or very slow speeds, I'm being forced 
to consider DSL. Problem is, at one of the two numbers from which I need 'net 
access, DSL service is not offerred. Therefore, I am considering getting DSL 
at my home, and using freesco (or some other routerish OS) as to serve the DSL 
connection to computers in my home. It also seems to me from the freesco 
documentation that one can dial in to a freesco router/server and join the 
intranet. It therefore stands to reason that I could get the web connection to 
be served to me at work over a dialin connection - becoming, in effect, my own 
ISP to myself. Any comments on this sort of scheme from anyone? 
Recommendations of alternative routers? Pitfalls to beware of?

As usual, I need to state that my understanding of these matters is a bit 
sketchy. I'm trying, at this point, to get a better idea of what's involved 
and thus hoping to arrive at a decision about whether I can devote the time 
and effort to such a project.

Thanks, James
