Considering that most modern PC's only have one serial port, and a lot of us need
at least 2 or more ports (rig, TNC for DXCluster, and serial or parallel for CW),
the older machines might be just the ticket.

What would be nice is a cheap switch that would let you share your keyboard, mouse,
and monitor between the two CPU's.  They are made, but the ones I have seen are
very expensive.

Just a thought,
