A USE FOR A PENTIUM 100 with Rod Peters

Many people will have a discarded PC of the Pentium 100 class. Free software can be used to convert these into a hardware Firewall/Router having up-to-date security. This is particularly useful to dial-up users, who have few options for deploying a hardware Firewall or sharing an Internet connection. The combination comfortably handles the bandwidth of a 1 Mb TransACT link. PCUG member Rod Peters will demonstrate the procedure.

and
BASIC PC SECURITY with Terry Bibo

Terry's presentation will cover Spyware Blaster and Spybot Search & Destroy.


This is the last Main Monthly Meeting for 2006.
For future meetings, the PCUG Committee are assessing the viability of alternate venues.
Input for suggestions of suitable venues are welcomed from the membership.
Please contact the secretaryATpcug.org.au
