[SunRescue] What to do with a lowly Sun 3/50 crate?

[Gil Young]

I had one of these once, it worked real fast as a mono X station (bootp off 
of other server, there is a package somewhere on the 'net specifically 
built for this), but you really need the mono display that would work with 
the video on board.  Alternately, you could bootp it into an OS and put a 
VT340 on it, that way you can use it to telnet to other servers and use it 
as a serial console to anywhere, or take some 5 inch screws and screw the 
thing to a wall as a decoration, or use it to prop up your monitor more to 
eye level.
