Anybody got a spare ISA network card? It beats using PPP over 115200bps. I've got an old Compaq Prolinear 4/100 which is a 486DX-100 with 16Mb of RAM and on-board 1M video card. The machine has RedHat 6.2 running on it just fine with 2 x 500Mb hard disks and was previously used as a firewall.
I'm just seeing whether this is feasible to use as an Xterm. The RAM is proprietary and doesen't use ordinary 30 pin SIMMS (the board sticks in something resembling an AGP port although it's definitely not AGP). The purpose for this is to give my young nephew something to play with since he seems to have fun with Xpaint. He's recently turned 4. I've toyed with the concept of "Toddler-mail" in my head. You set them up with a few icons of people they know on the desktop plus icons generated from images they do in Xpaint, then they drag the image to the face of the person they want to send it to. On the receiving end the image turns up on the desktop but somehow connected with the face of the person sending it. Completely GUI, no text. (Sorry Rick). Of course I've no idea what I've gotten myself into. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
