It's not the best one (it's discontinued due to EOL of internal
components), but it does have the ability to use a PCMCIA FLASH card,
and has a built-in AC power supply, and with enough internal RAM it will
run a decently new version of the firmware.  It would certainly make a
good console terminal server.  They sell upwards of $200-$300 or more,
used, from resellers, which is of course way too much, but that's what
people will pay when they have to or don't know any better I guess.
