I've built something like that from a bunch of used hardware in my teens. DSL connections were just available (in Germany) and came with a data flat rate. I was in the lucky position that I could convince my parents to get such a contract.
A friend of mine, who could not get a DSL connections because back then he lived in an uncovered area, could at least get a telephone "flat rate" for free telephone calls on Sundays.
So, he dialed in my Pentium 133 server and used my DSL connection behind a NAT every Sunday.

- stygiansonic 8y agoThis brought back some good memories. My dad had to work in a remote area for a while and rented an apartment. No DSL/broadband either. We had DSL/broadband back at "home" and I setup a dialup server (running on Windows 2000) built out of spare parts. I forget the details but remember it worked fine, up to around 33.6 kbps. Of course, it tied up two phone lines when in use.
