I suspect that wasn't what Paul meant; at least what I understood
was to get hold of an old 486 or P1 box, install the bits of
Linux you need on there for services you need, and connect your
present PC/YAN to this using a packet driver or some such
trickery.
I think Simon mentioned that he uses a setup something like this
(the word "ndis3pkt" has found its way into my consciousness) so
it would be worth looking back through dispc for info.
