   Mmmm, tasty AT&T 7300.  UNIX SysVr2 with a GUI on a 10MB disk in  
512KB of RAM. (well, originally anyway)  That's a damn fine machine.   
I worked in a computer store in a mall in NJ when they came out; we  
had one in the store.  I was very lucky to get one a few years later  
(way before they were considered "old") and used it nearly to death,  
then sold it.  Years later, about four years ago, a very kind  
gentleman gave me one.  I won't make the mistake of letting this one  
get away. :-)

   There's an Ethernet card and an IP stack available for that  
machine.  Sadly the code was very unstable and blew up a lot.
