I hadn't thought of using a 386 for this. What OS would you
recommend? DOS or Linux? What flavour linux if linux? Also, how the heck
do you remove the keyboard and video? I've read that in a few places but
it makes no sense, no machine I've ever seen will boot without and you're
not supposed to yank the keyboard from a powered machine as it may damage
the board or keyboard.
Also, once yanked, if the power goes out it won't reboot till you power it
up again.
If I setup a dial-in server on one of the other machines, will it be able
to work with the internet on the 386?
My poor brain is whirling now!
