True. But with a 640k MSDOS machine, anything more than wp5.1 is
taxing. With a 4 meg, 386sx/16 Linux machine, you can be fully
connected to the internet, as a server, bridge, router, or brouter,
even, without much trouble.

| (...) No you can't. :) You can do some of that, yes. Whether or not you would shoot yourself in the head waiting for it is another matter. Although I'm sure a 386sx/16 with 4 megs could probably dial in and run telnet just fine. (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
