P I 233 /128 is much above Warp4 minimal configuration.
For example, with PIII 600 MHz,  Torrent client (128 kbps) and DC++ client (256 kbps) uses about 85 % under Win98 and same about 12% under Warp4. So Warp4 is little faster than Win98.   

Nice. Btw, is there a light but versatile torrent client like uTorrent for OS/2?

What type of a router are you looking for?  Something simple just for home use (such as the type of routing that you'd get from something like a home-based Linksys / DLink / Netgear / etc box)?

Yes, a router for home use would be sufficient. Now I have Debian Linux in that comupter configured to be router, with basic masquerading and a DHCP server for LAN.

Btw, it's a Pentium I 233MHz computer with 128MB of RAM. This meets OS/2 Warp 4 minimum system requirements, but how fast should I expect it to run? Will it be faster than Windows 98 (which used to be a little slow)?

Networking / OS/2 Warp 4 as a router
2010.05.21, 14:38:56
Hey there,

I'm kind of new to OS/2, and would like to ask if version Warp 4 is suitable for building a multi-functional server computer: router, fax receiver and transmitter (I would like to use Cheyenne Bitware for Windows 3.11), fooling around with old games. Of course, internet router is the priority one.

Are there any applications, howtos to do this? Are there networking and security applications, like highly-configurable firewalls, dhcp servers, etc.? Is Warp 4 secure enough to be connected to the internet 24/7 (e.g. are there dangerous bugs or security holes that hasn't been fixed)?

Thanks for your help
