Uhh, I think we should move forward, like everyone else says. I mean, I 
don't throw computers away, but all my 486's have died now, RIP...

Having said that, to the best of my knowledge, there's still a scavenged 
P-90 with two 3Com NIC's bridging two LANs and acting as an internal 
router between them after two companies (one of which I used to work at) 
merged 5 years ago, and they wanted to access the private Frame Relay 
from their own LAN.

It's running FreeBSD 2.2.x on an 80MB HDD with no swap (it was a *very* 
tight squeeze), and got upgraded to 5MB of RAM (it was installed with 
4MB) after the guy running it decided to enable NIS and found it 
wouldn't work without a little more memory...

Heh. I guess that's progress for ya. :)

Cheers,

AS
