I have an old 386 box and I want to use it like a router. I know that there is a program that can be runed from a single floppy without a HDD. Can you point me some URL where I can download such a program.

It is a linux app. There is no Windows app that will do this.

Please read the disclaimers and precautions. They are important considerations.

There are a couple of options but I think the Linux Router Project approach works best.

On a 386, you will need a kernel compiled for 'non-FPU' support. An excellent place to start is Charles Steinkuehler's site at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net. You'll find the disk images, kernels and excellent documentation.
