Yep- they are expensive little boxes. Silly thing is, I had a friend turn
one of my old junque machines into a wonderful box that puts my packet TNC
on my network. I just telnet to 192.168.blah.blah, and a window opens up,
and I'm connected to my TNC in the way-back-building and and checking for
spots on the cluster.
The software is called Eth2Serial, and the box is running a one-floppy-disk
version of Linux. I just turn it on, and it starts... no keyboard, no
screen... just a box with an RS-232 port and a floppy disk.
DK :-)
