Oh it's a free server. Honestly, I wouldn't even pay to have one shipped. I'm picking it up. But if I can get one of the 5250 twinax emulator cards for $20 or less on ebay, it's worth tinkering with. Hell, might even be able to throw it on my resume. If there's the slightest doubt it'll be useless and a waste of time, then I won't go get it. Would make a mighty fine heater though. I used to have a Netrix P90 router. It was in this HUGE rackmount steel case that weighed about 80lbs. Had dual PS's, etc and was full of worthless network cards and 500mb HD's. I put NT 4.0 on it, it run amazingly slow (only had 16mb of memory) but I left it on because it kept my room warm in winter time. Created a nice humming too that put me to sleep at night ;) Jeremy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerome Draper" <jdraper@trilosoft.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 2:54 PM Subject: Re: IBM 5363 - System/36 - Connecting to a PC? > Consider that these machines are available anywhere.
