You might also look at Soren Kristenson's net4501; it is a 486 DX100 equivalent (really an embedded 133 MHz AMD processor) with 64 MB ram, compact flash, compact PCI, three (!) ethernet, partial regular PCI, serial port (second serial is optional). All together US$192, quantity one. Check out his website, http://www.soekris.com/, for more information. I'm not associated with him, I'm just a happy customer. :-) -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
