Or one of those "spiffy" http://www.microworks.com $299 PC (K6-300, 32 Meg
RAM, *some* HD (2+ gig) and a modem - note: NO CD-ROM, no floppy) -
take that machine, throw in a tulip PCI ethernet card ($40?) and a copy of
WABI ($79?) and you are still under $499, even after S/H for all the above!
And you can have this solution in place by the end of the month!
HTH (sorry in advance for the inevitable storm of interest in the $299 PC!),
Ken
