Sorry if I posting this message in the worng group -- but I remembered an old
discussion on here about "The Ultimate BBS" question (and it eventually was
decided that UNIX was the Ultimate BBS :-)  so my question is:

If you are running BSD Unix 4.[2][3] -- do you have to have a Vax/Microvax?
Is it possible to bring BSD down to a PC (yeah -- I know.. try not to laugh
to hard about this question -- even though it sounds a little primative
:-) ;-).  What is the MINIMUM Hardware?? 

For Internet Socketing (TCP) what do you need as far as Hardware.  I guess
my real question is -- what is the minimum Harware needed for Internet??
(IE the ability to use "telnet", "rlogin", "rsh", etc??)  Is this network
cabled together or how it is all hooked up?  

As a user it's all transparent to me -- so I don't know the full Harware/
Software needs for this Network.  I just take it for granted that if I
mail a message to an INTERNET address -- it will get there (most of the
time :-) -- even though their UNIX may *not* be listed in our /etc/hosts
file!

Thanx! --- and hope I posted this to the right Newsgroup!
