DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: DSL using ISP web space.



Hello,

Thanks for this nice piece of work.

I am wondering wether if, for fun, is may be possible to use the web space(usually between 50-200Mo) granted by one's Internet service provider as main storage for DSL?, (given you have ADSL).  Just boot on floppy/CD/small low cost USB key or better from LAN boot prom. (see Etherboot project).

You get secure storage, ultra thin client.

Cheers

Ran CD DSL on a P166MMX, 32Mb.
:p
At least if not booting the ISP space,  it may be interesting to see if it is possible to use it through SHFS. 50 to 200Mb of free storage.
