Lists of supported hardware configurations.

Below you will find supported configurations for each of the flavors of PicoBSD as of version @@VER@@, as well as the lists of programs included.

Dialup version:

minimum 386SX CPU (either Intel, AMD, Cyrix etc - doesn't matter),
minimum 8MB of RAM (some people reported success stories with 4MB only, but I certainly don't recommend it)
a modem (for Internet connection using PPP protocol), either internal or external, connected to COM1-COM4. NOTE: COM3 and COM4 are disabled by default - you have to explicitly enable them in UserConfig.
an Ethernet card for LAN connection:
- ed - default settings: port 0x280, irq 10, iomem 0xd8000
  NE2000 compatible ISA and PCI cards, most SMC and 3C503
- ep - default settings: port 0x300, irq 10,
  3C509 ISA card
- ie - default settings: port 0x300, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000
  Intel EtherExpress ISA, StarLan, 3C507
- le - default settings: port 0x300, irq 5, iomem 0xd0000
  DEC EtherWorks 2 and 3
- lnc - default settings: port 0x280, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000
  Lance/PCNet
- de - DEC21040-based PCI cards,
- fxp - Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI card
10 virtual consoles plus console utilities (vidcontrol, kbdcontrol)
basic networking tools: ifconfig, route, ping, ns (mini-netstat), traceroute
basic remote access tools: telnet, ftp and SSH
basic OS tools: shell, mount (FreeBSD, DOS, Linux), umount, ps, kill, vm (mini-vmstat), fsck, df, etc..
editable configuration (/etc directory and kernel configuration)
simple editor ee
simple help system for people new to FreeBSD

Router-like version:

minimum 386SX CPU,
minimum 10 MB of RAM (8MB for basic setup)
support for PPP protocol on dialup/leased lines (using ijppp)
support for several types of Ethernet cards (two of each kind) - see above for descriptions: ed, ie, ep, de, fxp, lnc
network daemons: routing daemon (routed), inetd, telnetd.
IP Firewall and NAT daemon (natd).
more OS utilities, including: syslogd, mount_nfs, network logins via telnet
this version doesn't include: ssh, ftp

Router version:

minimum 386SX CPU,
minimum 4 MB of RAM (6MB for running some additional daemons)
support for PPP protocol on dialup/leased lines (using kernel ppp)
support for several types of Ethernet cards - see above for descriptions: ed, ie, ep, de, fxp, lnc
custom init(8), which includes also a simple command-line interface, and its own way to configure the system on startup.
IP Firewall and NAT daemon (natd - it requires additional portion of RAM).
very few OS tools, except those absolutely necessary,

There's also the fourth version, which can serve as a dialin server - I hope you'll find it as a cheap yet reliable alternative to commercial communication servers :-)) This work is still in progress, and I need some people to test the early dial-in server version.
