Trying to find a compatible OS for an old computer
Hello
A friend and I recently got our hands on an old computer (a rainbow '83 I think), cleaned it, etc... And now we're trying to get the thing running. The problem is that the included OS is badly documented, so I thought of installing an old version of UNIX on it. So the questions are: Is that computer compatible with a unix os? If it is, where can I find old versions of unix, preferably before 1983?

Hey, i was wondering if anybody knew of a good VPN that is compatible with nat? If a VPN will not work with NAT could it work with PAT? Right now i'm using RH9. I wanted to use IPsec but i don't think that is compatiable with nat or pat. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks,
