Thats basicly what I was looking to find out.. I've got tons of 486sxes
sitting around. I could see myself embeding a 486 with ethernet card into
my TV (there is room in there), having it netboot and haveing a nice SNMP
monitorable TV, and perhaps remotely controling it.
Gee.. Think of the possibilities, network the microwave to the alarm
system..... that would add new meaning to 'being caught red handed'. :) :)
