2. Persuade someone who has a fixed IP to run the user mode
router, if you register your IP with something like DynDns then
the user mode router periodically checks for a change of IP.

Is the user mode router ready? I could deploy that..


[Rob Jarratt]
It has been used in a couple of configurations now and
seems to work
OK, I use it permanently now. You could try it and if it does not
work for you it is only seconds to switch back to the bridge.

Oh I was going to run the bridge as well, act as a sort of
connections
hub (Bridge, MULTINET on GORVAX and the user mode router).

What OS does the user mode router run on?

It runs on Windows (as a Windows Service) and it runs on linux (as a
Daemon). I built the linux version on the Raspberry Pi using a flavour
of Debian. I think it has been built on FreeBSD too.

Would it run on NetBSD???


Not tried it so I don't know. I am not really very knowledgeable on all the
different Unix flavours, but the code does not do a lot that is special so
it should work. Try building it, if it doesn't compile or work let me know
and I will build a NetBSD virtual machine and get it working.
