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 --==_Exmh_1886702078P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE9/sjWPHh895bDXeQRAl1IAJ0aL7tio2ji+XkdNtRvxfC5iDhhCwCgvauW m2EeSnwfMgBKXQSRBjJhZD8= =uZEM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1886702078P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
