They don't have to be much: 64MB to 128MB system memory, at least a 486-class CPU, a network interface, and a pccard or CF slot, possibly even an IDE interface. Keyboard/mouse/VGA would be optional if I can get Windoze (either 98SE or NT4) to run fine without them. The Soekris net4501 would be ideal, in that case. Anyone know of any other relatively inexpensive hardware that would do this? Most of the PC/104 stuff is out, since its pretty expensive. Even some kind of pizzabox super-micro-ATX solution would be fine. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
