David A Woyciesjes was found to ask thusly:
Does anyone know if there is a free/share/money-ware program that
can turn a Mac into a DHCP server? For use on an older 68k Mac...
Yeah, sort-of, if you can find it.
Vicom Technologies (
www.vicomtech.com) has a product that's
undergone a few name changes and feature orgies. Originally
named "Vicom Internet Gateway", then "Vicom Soft Router", and
maybe back to the original name... it's a software-based NAT
router. It includes a built-in DHCP server.
It wasn't expensive... it came bundled with Applshare IP 5.0,
and when we finally purchased a cross-platform upgrade, that
was either US$29 or US$79.
At one time, you could download trial versions of the package.
Additionally, if you hunt around, you'll find the magix needed
to make the evaluation period last a very, very long time. ;-)
