My personal experiece an AMD 80386DX/40 with 5 megs ram and a single IDE drive running apache should be able to handle an ISDN speed connection with a lot of hits when running FreeBSD 2.1.0 (its been a while since I did this). At 5 megs it would have eventually beat the hard drive to death, but at 8 megs it was as fast over ethernet (10mbps) as my current webserver (5x86/133, 32 megs ram). The 386 handled 7,500 hits/day (one of my users decided to put up a porn site) for about a week without too much trouble. I'd never want to try to make it do it again though :-) TTYL JShome | help
