Well, old and bad are two different things. At least to my understanding.
That's one of the beuties of Linux as I learned: it can slow down on an
older hw, but works. Load is usually around 0.0x except when I compile
something, but I don't normally do that on such an old PC.
But if it's still not enough to convince you, then I can tell you, that
the first replace was to the other 486 mb I use for an XFBB BBS for years
at home. Without any problem in spite of running xwindow on it!

Both the original (with TNOS for years) and the first replacement (with
XFBB for years) already proved. See above. Chances are really low that
both gone haywire the same time.

I disagree with you. For tasks with low resources need, like handling two
low traffic 1200Bd ports, 5-10 mail per hour, max. 5-10 AX.25 users, well
for this I don't think that a K6 would be required.
Anyhow, I do appreciate your effort to help, Pat.

PS. Can I have your dumped P200? ;-) Just kidding...
