My goodness... I don't even remember. Let's see, Vulcan was a basic OS; the Machine itself was 24-bit mainframe with I think 512KB RAM. We used two HP7906 or 7907 hard drives (the 7906 had 18" platters, one fixed, one removable, total storage, a whopping 20MB; the 7907 went down to 8" platters, same capacity, IIRC). I think we calculated teh clock speed at something like 3MHz...
Job Control Language (JCL) ran on top of Vulcan, though we spent most of our time in Test Executive, which ran in the JCL shell.

How do your various devices connect to the Internet? If what you want is outbound control by device, I'm not sure hacking your router should be needed.

I've got a crappy Motorola NVG510 that AT&T insists I use for U-verse. The built-in firewall is basic. I have an old gaming server with Smoothwall on it: CLAMAV and content filtering, usage restrictions and monitoring, etc... I can even set up a separate network for a server, if the son decides he wants to host a Minecraft server.
Problem is, I can't get the NVG510 to go into true bridge mode for my external firewall to work; hence the hacking part.
It's either that or try and get AT&T to admit that there are other (perhaps even better? modems that will work on their lines.
