It looks like FIC sells one that would do (assuming you're ok with one NIC being builtin or buying duel/quad NICs). http://www.fica.com/products/systems/Databook/Sahara1000/Sahara1000.stm I think Wes has a slightly different solution with him, but it was from FIC, IIRC. I've got a Fujistu/Simens Scovery system I bought at auction that would fit the bill except for the ISA issue. I need to find the time to set it up as a PXE booting test box. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
