Technical information about the Sturtevant home server
We run this server in our home, and brought it online in March 1994. Boy,
was the Web small back then!
It's a simple setup, really.
Our complete costs to run this server are $100 per month:
-
US$79 per month, 24 hour dialup Internet access (SLIP at 33.6kbps uplink, 56kbps downlink)
-
US$21 per month, phone line (local call free, no per-minute charge)
I also have three other systems on a local Ethernet LAN and use this NT 4.0 machine as a router. All PCs share the same SLIP connection to the Internet.
Some Tech Notes I have written
Home Network: a diagram of our configuration
Router: How I got my NT workstation
configured as a router
Redial: How I got my server to reset
itself when the phone line drops
