I'll second  that. I've got  a 486  sitting in  a closet  that's a
perfectly working machine, except  I couldn't get the Etherexpress
Pro/10 to work with OpenBSD. I used that as an excuse to get a $50
throwaway computer with PCI slots and a couple D-Link 10/100 cards
(still not  great cards, but far  more than adequate for  my small
home network).

Use the eepro/10s in a modern art installation.

Cheers,
