Hi
We recently purchased 45 386 boxes from a government auction. We use them for
modem permanent connections as a router.
They work great - we usually run a dns and firewall on it.
They have little 210Mb hard disks and 8Mb of ram. Cant run X, but we usually
pipe a xterm or a control-panel session back to the ops centre with the good
old
control-panel -display xwindows.client.system:0
