Got one o'them, or maybe it's a K6-2/400 that I had overclocked. can't remember. anyway, I ran a Smoothwall firewall box on it for a couple years (after upgrading from a Pentium-90 which served for several years). ran great! then in interests of saving money on my outrageous power bill, I switched it out for a linksys WRT54GL which probably draws about 1/10 or maybe 1/20 of the power. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------
