- I recently got an Ethernet card and began experimenting with the
- TCP/IP stuff. Just for fun, I brought home an old NCD Xterminal.
- This particular one doesn't have its "OS" present in ROM, but rather
- gets it off of a remote machine using tftp.
-
- Well, needless to say, things worked quite smoothly and I now have
- a decent sized mono display to complement my 640x480 color screen.
-
- Linux has certainly breathed a lot of new life into some tired
- old hardware. I'm looking forward to getting NFS going and
- finding a use for an old IBM RT that I salvaged some time ago.
- It's dog-slow, but it has lots of disk space. :-)

- If it can't be done with Emacs, you're being too ambitious.
