Even if it needed FP, legOS supports that.

Well, maybe. Maybe not. legOS has a random() function, right?
Once the TCP/IP patch is stable, why not use an RCX as an echo server
with built in en/decryption? You could just telnet to it, type in a
secret message, and cut and paste the output. UDP actually might be
better for this.
Or how about a server to store proxy settings? That wouldn't need much
CPU speed or memory. There are all kinds of thinks like this you can do.
