Hmm, then I'm the lucky one :). There is an old ThinkPad 340
(486/4MB/120MB) which runs heavily trimmed down preSMPNG -current with sc
driver. The only caveat is that one should specify a flag which disables
keyboard reset, because without it machine will silently reboot. Besides
that this ThinkPad works as gateway (even with PCMCIA ethernet card)
without any problems.
