I have a p3-450 running Win 98 with a dsl connection that I would like to
volunteer as a tinderbox host. I have MSVC6 standard edition (not professional).
I did a cvs checkout of the 0.9.3 source tonight, and it builds successfully
using Cygwin 1.1.8.
I see several potential problems. My dsl connection doesn't have a fixed ip
address. Also this machine is on a lan behind a Linksys Cable/DSL Router. The
router does a lot of ip packet filtering although this is configurable. I run
the ZoneAlarm software firewall on all of my computers including this one.
Finally, I know nothing about perl. How does one run perl scripts on Windows?
Let me know if I can help and what I have to do.

Basically, it requires a machine that's on almost all the time, and
the ability to run perl scripts. What OS do you have?
