: QBIK is an *early alpha hack* that will provide pass-through connectivity.
: It is *by no means done yet*, and FTP doesn't work.
: You would probably be better off using a real router, assuming you have or
: can get the necessary technical knowledge. Packages available on the net
: include ka9q, pcroute, pcbridge, and iproute. You could probably run an
: old 286 as a dedicated router and get performance comparable to that of a
: Pentium running qbik under Win95.

You can install Linux and use the IP_MASQUERADE function.
Then the linux box can serve as a gatewary to internet.
I've tried that. Telnet, ftp and www work.
Another advantage is that Linux can be used as a name server to query
internet DNS. In this way, you can have both local & internet DNS for your
LAN.
