It ran Linux, so hopefully it would run *BSD. It had a 1 ghz processor, and 512 mbytes of RAM. The package was a a cube. 2"x2"x2". That's correct, inches. One face has a power plug; another had a USB connector; a third has a (100 mbit) ethernet connector. The price was (I think) under US $150. Robert Huff
