 jo> 386SX16, 4 megs of memory, no hard disk (swaps to floppy :^), with an
 jo> ethernet card, and a modem.  Acts as apartment router, and occasional
 jo> terminal, but it has to swap to the floppy to run ash and telnet :^)

And I thought my 386SX40 was running lean on 4 meg!  It does have a 1.2
gig drive on it though. :-)  That machine is my local gateway, as well
as DNS cache, Samba server (so I can share the 1.2 gig out to Windows
and OS/2 boxes) and terminal (telnet) for administering the Linux server
at the other end of the phone line. :-)  You can do a lot with Linux and
old hardware. :-)

... As easy as 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197168. . .
