Gordon,
I looking for an equivalent to the used 486 market. Ubiquitous and cheap
to free when used. I think the netbook/mini-notebook with Intel Atom
processor will fit this mold.
My main concern is the installed Wi-Fi (drivers & access point mode).
The other thing that concerns me is disabling suspend etc., when the lid
is closed.

I'm not sure. I thought most of this was taken care of in the early days
of usbnet.
