I am looking for a way to make a system that is foolproof.  The best way I
know to do that is eliminate the hard drive and use a CDROM with all the
settings burned permanently.  I need it to allow a PPP connection and use
SCP or SFTP to transfer files.  A BBS application with ZModem would also
work, but I also need to be able to remotely print to a parallel port
printer.  For that, I was considering using a printer sharing daemon that
would allow a windows98 machine to print to it over the PPP connection.  If
a BBS was used, I think a script would have to be run to print a file after
it was uploaded.  The system would also have to be able to mount a USB MMC
card reader using VFAT.  I think all this could be done with a single
floppy.  It doesn't matter to me.  Either way, all it's going to be used for
is retrieving the files on the MMC cards and remotely printing the results.

Can someone point me to some HOWTO's that would get me started?
